Baby Greens Quinoa & Chickpea-Pea Falafel Bowl

I like to make a batch of Falafels and use them to make different kinds of meals. I made this bowl with part of a batch of Chickpea-Pea Falafels. This bowl had the perfect combination of ingredients.

This recipe makes 2 servings.

  • 4 c Baby Spinach & Baby Kale
  • 1 c Tri-colored Quinoa, cooked
  • 6 Chickpea-Pea Falafels
  • 1 c cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 tbsp sunflower seeds

Layer all the ingredients in a bowl and top with your favorite sauce. I like the Creamy Cilantro Sauce or maybe the Green Goddess.

Easy Chickpea-Pea Falafels

This recipe is easy and adaptable to go with your likings. It is a twist on my Easy Falafels GF/Vegan. The mixture ia all made in the food processor so there is minimal cleanup. I always like minimal cleanup.

  • 1 1/2 c chickpeas
  • 1/3 c peas, frozen
  • 1/2 c onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp coriander
  • 4 tbsp oat flour

Note: You can use the canned variety of chickpeas, however, make sure they are rinsed and drained.

Note: Oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats into a spice grinder or food processor.

Combine all the ingredients into the food processor and process until it is thoroughly combined and resembles a crumbly dough.

Transfer to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate the dough for 1-2 hours. The refrigeration helps the dough to firm up and the falafels hold together better.

Form dough into 12 little patties. Cook the falafels over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Make sure the skillet is hot before you put the falafels in the pan. Cook each side until a deep golden color.

Mini Mexican Chickpea Burgers

These are actually a twist on my Easy Falafels, using Mexican flavor seasonings. It is a nice change from the Mediterranean flavors. They can be made in batches, frozen and then reheated for a quick meal or snack. They have only 6 ingredients. That’s pretty easy.

Chickpea Mini Burgers

I’ll be honest these are very similar to my Easy Falafels. I changed up the seasoning to give them a different flavor profile.

Combine all the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse the ingredients until they look like a chunky meal.

Test the texture by trying to form a ball with your hand. If it holds it is good to work with, if not, add a little water.

Form into little patties. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Cook patties in a non-stick skillet. Make sure the skillet is hot. Otherwise, the patties may stick. Cook until golden.

Serve. Eat. Enjoy.

Millet Grain Bowl with Falafels and Creamy Cilantro Sauce/Dressing

This millet grain bowl is a nice change from the regular grain bowl you see. Millet is simple to make and has a wonderful flavor. You can grind the grain and turn it into a flour. It cooks just like rice – 1 cup of millet/ 2 cups liquid.

I had made some Easy Falafels and the Creamy Cilantro Sauce/Dressing for dinner the night before. To change it up a bit I used those ingredients and a few others to make this flavor packed grain bowl. This recipe makes two bowls with extra Creamy Cilantro Sauce/Dressing and extra Falafels.

Assemble the bowl in the order of the ingredients.
