If you’re looking for a good meatless Monday recipe look no further!
Falafel is one of my favorite foods. I usually go with a standard chickpea recipe but this time I decided to mix it up and use half American pistachios.The pistachios added such a good flavor to the falafel plus they make the falafel a complete protein.

1/2 cup American pistachios (soaked 6-24 hours)
