Pea and Split Pea Falafel and Quinoa Bowls

Sesame (tahini lemon sauce), walnuts (muhamara), milk (only when feta is added)

Falafel, quinoa, chermoula sauce, lemon tahini sauce, orange harissa sauce, pickled red onion, chickpeas, muhamarra, and goat cheese (if requested).

For dairy eaters, we suggest adding plain yogurt (Nancy's is best).  The meal will work great on its own, but we recommend adding roasted veggies - cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, brussel sprouts, squash and/or cabbage to.  For a salad: spinach, kale or baby greens, radishes (and any other veggies you choose).  Harissa sauce also makes a great chicken marinade for meat eaters.

Remove falafel and lay flat on foil or parchment paper before thawing or cook from frozen (best).  Thaw everything else in a bowl of cold water or in the refrigator overnight or heat from frozen (works for everything). Open all bags immediately after thawing.  

Quinua - Place quinoa in a pot with lid and add 2 3/4 cups water, cover, bring to a boil on high, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes.  Let rest for 5-10 min before fluffing. 

Roasted Veggies - Pre-heat oven to 425F (roast/convect).  Cut veggies into small pieces and toss with enough harissa to coat.  Roast for 10-20 minutes (depening on the veggies and their size) until cooked through and charred in spots.  Toss with salt and more harissa and/or a bit of chermoula.

Falafel - Oven: Add a fair amount of olive oil (or other oil) to a pan, gently set falafel on the oil and pour just a bit over the top.  Bake for 6-8 minuts, flip and bake for 4-6 min until browned.  Stopetop - Heat a frying pan on medium.  Add a 2-4TBS of olive oil.  Fry falafel for 2-4 min per side until browned.

Chickpeas - Heat and eat.  Heat in the oven on their own or roast with the veggies (plain or tossed with harissa), in a small pot on medium heat or in the microwave.

Everything else is served cold.
