And it's made even tastier with a spicy zhoug sauce, a green chilli sauce originating in Yemen - think of it as a Middle Eastern pesto!

Steps to make Butternut Squash Falafel:
- Peel the skin from the squash and finely grate it with a grater. (You could probably slice it thin and process it in a mixer or food processor as well.)
- Put soaked chickpeas, garlic, spices, cilantro and flour into a food processor/mixer. Process until it turns into a grainy meal.
- Mix the chickpea mix and the grated squash together in a bowl. If necessary, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, until the mixture can be formed into balls without falling apart.
- Form the mixture into about 10 round balls (about 2 Tbsp of the mix for each one). Set on to a plate or pan.
- Prepare about 1 inch (3 cm) of hot oil for frying the falafel. One hot, fry the the falafel in batches. Fry the first side until golden brown (it usually takes 2-3 minutes for me but depends on how how you have your oil).
- When the first side is golden brown, turn over with tongs and fry the other side.
- Remove finished falafel onto a plate or rack lined with paper towels. Fry the rest of the falafel until all are finished.
- Serve in pitas or with your favorite dipping sauce. I like making a sauce with strained/greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and olive oil (sometime mix in diced cucumber or fresh cilantro).
