This easy Red Rice Falafel is a delicious Mediterranean dinner recipe that is healthy too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Simple<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are days when I want to make them in a more traditional way. Then there are times when I do a cheat non-authentic version and throw together cooked chickpeas ( there's always a pack of those in my freezer) with whatever else I take fancy to and bake them off. In this recipe I added this fabulous organically grown red rice and hey presto, these Baked Red Rice Falafels<\/strong> were born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falafels are very popular with vegetarians and vegans ( and the meat-eating fraternity too! \ud83d\ude42 )as they are not only appetizing but also a rich source of protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. Baking instead of frying them lowers the fat content considerably. Now in this recipe, red rice<\/strong><\/em> adds a boost of bulk, iron,  antioxidants, various minerals, and vitamins. It's a low GI food like chickpeas, hence wonderful for diabetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I had no pita, burger buns, or wraps the day I made them, so I decided to serve them family-style with vegetables and some homemade beetroot hummus<\/em> - garlic saut\u00e9ed amaranth leaves, flash saut\u00e9ed asparagus, cooked beetroot doused with a glug of olive oil and lemon juice, some olives and topped with toasted almonds. Like a big Buddha Bowl! \u00a0I promise, nobody missed the bread even though we are HUGE on bread!! A chilled glass of white wrapped it up for us perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So bring the flavors of the Mediterranean to your table with these simple baked red rice falafels <\/em>and have a splendid meal! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
