Falafel bowl with tahini dressing
Serves 2
This superfood bowl is brimming
with delicious flavors and textures.
½ portion of
Falafel
mixture
½ garlic clove — minced
¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/3 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup baby spinach leaves
10 Kalamata olives
1 carrot — grated
2 tomatoes — cut into wedges
¼ cucumber — thinly sliced into rounds
¼ red onion — thinly sliced into rings
2 radishes — thinly sliced into rounds
MAKE the falafel mixture. MAKE the
tahini dressing by placing the garlic, tahini, salt, lemon juice and
water in a small bowl and mixing thoroughly to combine. HEAT the
olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. FORM golf
ball-size spoonfuls of the falafel mixture (about 1 heaped
tablespoon each) and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand
(dampen your hands first to help prevent sticking). FRY the patties
for 5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. ARRANGE the
spinach, olives, carrot, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, radishes and
cooked falafel in a bowl. DRIZZLE the tahini dressing on top.
