Falafel Bowls with Homemade Tzatziki

Trader Joe’s Falafel Mix (Follow box instructions)

Prepare the falafel mix according to box instructions. Let it sit while you prepare the rest.

Grate the cucumber onto paper towels. Squeeze out as much of the water as possible.

To the cucumber, grate in the jalapeño, garlic, lemon zest.

Add in the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, salt, pepper & olive oil. Mix to combine & set aside.

Get oil in a large skillet. While it’s heating up, form the falafel balls. Add to the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side.

Brown rice, I used the pre-cooked microwaveable stuff

To assemble, add cooked brown rice to the bottom of a bowl, add the falafel, cucumber and tomatoes around the bowl, top the center of the bowl with the Tzatziki, hummus on the side, crumbled feta all over, diced onion & chili oil.
