okay. this is SO easy.

1. throw first 9 ingredients in blender.

2. shape the mixture into 4 patties. ( i like to flatten them like crescents, so they fit perfectly into the pita-halves)

3. mix the breadcrumbs with the flax seed. dip the falafel patties into egg, and then into breadcrumbs. fry patties in pan with light olive oil until crispy on either side.

4. put falafel in whole wheat pita half, topped with the cucumber tomato salad

5. blend 3/4 cup plain yogurt with 3 sprigs of mint leaves.

dip falafel in mint-yogurt and enjoy!


this recipe seriously takes less than 20 minutes to make. and even shorter time if your loved one chopped the tomatoes and cucumber while you shape your falafel.
