Thank you to organicgirl for sponsoring this post. As always, the recipe(s), photos, and opinions, are all my own.
These falafel are soft and moist on the inside, and crispy on the outside. They’re packed with nutrients and flavor, making for a pita filled with goodness.
I was walking through a local farmer’s market a few months ago and noticed a tent set up serving Mediterranean food. They were the last tent in what felt like a mile-long row of vendors, yet the smells of their food served as a welcoming fragrance that lured me over.
Chickpea and quinoa salad, fresh hummus, dolma, the list goes on. Fresh, wholesome ingredients, just the way I like it. Of course, despite the fact that I’d had breakfast less than two hours prior and didn’t really have an appetite, I had to order something.
Falafel. My first falafel experience. Yes, I waited 23 years to try falafel. Sue me.
I ordered, paid for my food, sat on a bench near the tent and patiently waited for my lunch. When my name was called, I couldn’t have lifted myself up fast enough. I scurried up to meet the woman who hand-made every dish. She handed me a warm, foil-wrapped gyro.
I unfolded said gyro, and got to work. Instantly, a love story was rendered. Falafel became my homeboy.
Now, here I am, almost a year later, making my own. And let me tell you, I don’t have to rely on the bi-weekly Saturday farmer’s market anymore.

These falafel are:
Garlicky
Soft
Moist
Crispy
Bursting with flavor
SUPER!
Why are they super?
Because of these SUPERGREENS! from organicgirl. I wanted to fit lots of supergreens into a small but flavorful package, so falafel came instantly to mind. These SUPERGREENS! contain:
Baby red chard
Baby tat soi
Baby spinach
Baby arugula
Baby green swiss chard
OH BABY!
These SUPERGREENS! added a ton of nutrients and a subtle enhancement of flavor to these falafel. You’ll feel better knowing you’re packing your bite with the superest of super greens.

What is your favorite Mediterranean dish?
LOVE falafel!! It’s probably my favorite form of Mediterranean food and this looks so fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing girl!

I love falafel but I have never made them, sad I know! They are great from costco but I really need to get on that. Nothing can beat a Falafel in a pita with loads of hummus and roasted veggies, nothing!
They’re actually so so easy. I was afraid it would be a hot mess but nope!!
Gyros with falafel are EVERYTHING. I can only imagine how yummy that first one was. I can’t wait to make these bad boys

Oh yes! I LOVE falafel and basically all Mediterranean food. I would say that pita and tzatziki sauce is up there as a favorite. Great work on this recipe! Aren’t you glad you went to that farmer’s market?
I freaking love tzatziki sauce. I douse my gyros in it lol and YES, I love that farmer’s market, I always discover something!
