Baked Falafel

Dear Turkey,

Remember when I made falafel sandwiches? Yeah, that was, like, two days ago. And they were awesome. But I ended up with a ton of falafel batter in my fridge and I got sick of frying it every night.

So I wondered why you couldn't just bake it like a big, Middle Eastern veggie kugel? Turns out, you can. Now, this isn't the oil-soaked, just-fried falafel goodness like in my last post. But it's really good, keeps in the fridge beautifully after it's cooked, and is sliceable and versatile -- perfect for sandwiches, salads, crumbled on top of soup like a tender crouton, and vegan.

Falafel Sandwiches

Dear Turkey,

Remember when I made falafel? Yeah, that was good. I didn't think I could improve upon that, and I'm not really much of a sandwich girl, but this falafel pita sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever made.

I love how the pita gives everything a convenient container without adding way too much bread. It's also just a little sweet, which offsets everything inside nicely. And, if you are feeling lazy, you can always buy falafel mix (it really works!) or frozen falafel.
