Falafel Again

Day 106

We got to have falafel again. And there is still a lot left, since Laura made a double batch, but it freezes well, so we can have something new tomorrow night.

Falafel Dough

The raw falafel dough was stored in the fridge so Laura made some patties to fry.

Fried them in coconut oil.

Pita Wraps

The pitas were wrapped airtight to keep them as fresh as possible. Homemade pitas don't contain any preservatives so they need to be well wrapped to keep them usable for a couple days so they don't dry out. They're wrapped in a clean towel then super-wrapped in plastic.

Then they just had to be warmed a bit on each side before making the wraps.

The Fixins'

The tahini sauce and the rest of the chopped tomatoes and lettuce had been stored in the fridge too, with no further prep needed, so after the falafels were cooked and the pitas warmed, we were ready to wrap!

I sliced an avocado to have on our falafel tonight. Why didn't I think of that last night? We love avocado!

Avocado

This meal really is a healthy one. Even the sauce is super good for you, as it is only sesame paste, garlic and lemon, so you needn't feel guilty taking extra sauce. Which I did.

Good & Good For Ya

When you're enjoying a falafel, it feels like you're eating something naughty...like a fried treat from the farm market. In reality, everything in it is nutritious with the exception of the pita itself. The only downside is that they are a bit messy to eat. In the pic below you can see that a falafel, some avocado and tomato slipped out the back-end while I was biting in. Not the worst thing ever by any means.

Even better tonight because we had avocado on it. Another 10 :) Laura agrees.
