Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups dry falafel mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Nonstick cooking spray, for the waffle maker
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 small Persian cucumber, grated
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the skillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 avocado
One 10-ounce package chicken and quinoa meatballs, halved
1 small red onion, halved and thickly sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
1/2 cup crumbled feta
8 cornichons or other small sour pickles, halved

Steps:

  • For the falafel waffles: Combine the falafel mix and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, egg and 1 1/2 cups cold water in a separate bowl and stir into the falafel mix. Stir in the parsley and dill and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a waffle maker.
  • Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray. Spread a quarter of the batter almost to the edges of it, close and bake until the waffle is crisp, lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use the remaining batter to make 3 more waffles. Keep the waffles warm on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • For the sandwich fillings: To make the tzatziki, stir together the yogurt, parsley, dill, cucumber, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Mash the avocado in a separate small bowl with the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet lightly with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs and cook, tossing occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the onion and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are charred but still crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove to a separate plate.
  • To serve, break the waffles at their natural divisions. Sandwich the meatballs in the waffles with the charred vegetables, tzatziki, avocado, feta and pickles, making 8 small sandwiches. Secure with toothpicks, if desired.

These falafel waffles are the perfect combination of crispy and fluffy. The tahini sauce is also amazing.

I've made these falafel waffles several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they're always delicious.

These falafel waffles were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy tahini sauce. Next time I'll use a milder sauce.

I'm not a big fan of falafel, but I really enjoyed these waffles. The tahini sauce was especially good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover falafel. I had some falafel that I had made earlier in the week, and I used it to make these waffles. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my falafel waffles turned out too oily. I think I might have used too much oil in the batter.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The falafel waffles were delicious and the tahini sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

This falafel waffle sandwich was a hit! The waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the falafel was perfectly seasoned. The tahini sauce added a creamy and tangy flavor that brought the whole dish together. I will definitely
