QUICK FALAFEL
Steps:
- In a food processor (or in my case a blender .which takes longer), combine all the ingredients except the olive oil. It's okay to leave small pieces of things, you don't want it to be a puree. Take sheets of wax paper (I tore mine in half), and put a heaping spoonful on one side of the wax paper. Fold the other side over it, and push it down until it's in a 1/4″ thick disc. At this point, I put them in the refrigerator while I prepared everything else. Next, you'll want to make your tzatziki sauce (Recipe below). Then, prepare your sliced tomatoes, lettuce, or any other vegetable you'd like (I had tomato, spinach, and sliced bell pepper). Now is the cooking part. In a pan with a small layer of olive oil on the bottom, heat the pan on medium-high heat. Put the falafel discs in the oil, browning both sides. Make sure you don't over crowd them in the pan. Once they're done, put them on a plate covered in a paper towel, to drain any excess oil. Put your pita pockets, sandwiches, or buns together. Yum! Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup non fat greek yogurt (I used Chobani) 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped fine salt, to taste fresh ground black pepper, to taste 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder How-To Combine all the ingredients and drizzle over falafel.
