Easy Falafel Dinner!
Easy Falafel Dinner
Montreal’s version of late-night fast food is shwarma, and the great thing about shwarma places is that they have an amazing vegetarian alternative: Falafel! I’ve found so many places around here that make a fantastic falafel sandwich, but sometimes making it at home is equally delicious!
Ingredients:
Falafel mix [I haven’t gotten around to making my own homemade falafel yet, but I hear it’s pretty easy so I will definitely be trying it in the near future! Probably should invest in a food processor first]
Pita bread
Lettuce [Shredded]
Tomato
Bell pepper [I used orange because they were looking the most alive in the grocery store this week—but red and green both work equally well!]
Onion
Olives [Kalamata are my favorite right now]
Hummus/Tzatziki/Yogurt [Tzatziki is fabulous, it’s this type of cucumber yogurt—works perfectly with falafel!]
Feta [YUM, but any kind of cheese works—if you are trying to save cash you’ll probably want to skip feta, it can be pretty pricey. I recommend mozzarella, it’s lower in calories and still very creamy]
Other veggies are up to you and what your fridge has to offer! I love to add mushrooms, grated carrot, or switch out the lettuce for spinach—dark greens are oh so healthy!
