This bowl brings together crispy-edged baked falafel, fluffy grains, and fresh vegetables, all tied together with a creamy tahini drizzle. The falafel are made in a food processor from dried chickpeas, not canned, which gives them that light, almost crumbly interior that holds together without needing egg or any binder beyond a little flour. Baking them means far less oil than frying, and a quick blast under the broiler at the end gets the outside properly browned. The tahini sauce is thinned with lemon juice and water so it pours easily without being heavy. Build the bowl however you like, but a base of brown rice or quinoa, some cucumber and tomato, and a handful of greens turns this into a genuinely filling meal.
