MEAL 1
Baked Falafel Bowls
/ RECIPE PAGE 240 /
This vegetarian meal sequence is such a artistic and scrumptious option to get extra mileage out of a ready falafel dough. Half the dough will probably be used within the flavorful baked falafel bowls, whereas the opposite half is creatively used as a crust for the goat cheese and mushroom quiche. Falafels are historically fried, however we bake them within the oven for a more healthy spin. The vitamin of the bowls will get much more sturdy with the addition of the lemony kale salad.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Make It Dairy-Free:
• MEAL 1: Omit the feta cheese from the falafel bowls.
• MEAL 2: Omit the goat cheese from the quiche, and substitute an equal quantity of full-fat coconut milk for the heavy cream.
Make It Gluten-Free:
• MEALS 1 AND 2: Use cup-for-cup gluten-free flour rather than the all-purpose flour within the falafel dough.
TIPS
• The falafel dough could be ready prematurely and saved in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as 24 hours. Be aware that falafel made with chilled dough may have about 5 minutes extra within the oven.
• To avoid wasting time, make the falafel dough, then bake the falafel for Meal 1 and the falafel crust for the quiche on the identical time. Let the crust cool, then wrap it in plastic wrap and retailer it within the fridge for as much as 2 days; fill it on the day you intend to serve the quiche.
