These falafel and veggie-filled pitas are a fun and fast vegetarian dinner, packed with protein!
540-mL can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup fine bulgur
4 garlic cloves
1 small onion
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped
4 tsp canola oil
4 pitas, cut in half
Greek yogurt
WHIRL chickpeas with bulgur, garlic, onion, egg, cumin, coriander and salt in a food processor until finely chopped. Stir in flour and roasted red pepper. Scoop batter into 1-tbsp balls.
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 2 tsp canola oil, then then half of batter balls. Lightly press each with the bottom of a spoon to flatten into a cake. Cook until golden and warmed through, 2 to 3 min per side. Repeat with 2 tsp canola oil and remaining batter balls. Serve in pita halves with Greek yogurt.
