Baked Quinoa Falafel Bites

After successfully baking falafel instead of frying them, it was fourth dimension to accept things farther amongst a twist. This fourth dimension I used quinoa inwards house of the chickpeas. The rather unauthorized mixture of nutty quinoa together with tahini was nearly authentic inwards gustation inwards texture, sans chickpeas. Go figure, but it worked perfectly. The lemon tahini sauce I served them amongst was the bomb. If desired, you lot tin serve them inwards pita pockets amongst the sauce.

Thankfully, I rarely dine alone, but on this occasion, I almost wished I did because I wanted to locomote on them all to myself. Well, that is a fleck of an exaggeration, equally I ever relish serving nutrient to my hubby together with best friend Basil. However, they are actually slow to brand therefore sure enough these are forthwith a frequent add-on to the table. I am 1 of those grazers that likes to snack on diverse things throughout the day, rather than to consume large meals together with these are but ideal. Certainly, this is a novel salubrious favorite.

To brand the repast vegan friendly, serve amongst a tomato-based sauce or chutney, or hummus instead of the lemon tahini sauce which contains yogurt.
