Crunchy Falafel Pita Pockets with Vegetables

PREPARATION

1. Cook the Falafel:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Fry The Meat Club falafel until golden brown.
• Alternatively, for a healthier option, you can bake or air fry the falafel. Follow the package instructions.
• Place cooked falafel on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

2. Warm the Pita Pockets:

• Warm the pita pockets in an oven, toaster, or on a stovetop griddle until soft and pliable.

3. Assemble the Falafel Pita Pockets:

• Carefully open each pita pocket to form a pocket for filling.
• Spread approximately 1-2 tablespoons of hummus on the inside of each pita pocket.

4. Add the Falafel and Toppings:

• Place The Meat Club falafel balls into each pita pocket.
• Add sliced cucumber (about 1/2 cup), tomatoes (about 1 cup), shredded lettuce (about 1 cup), red onion (about 1/2 cup), and feta cheese (if using) to taste.

5. Drizzle with Sauce and Garnish:

• Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce over the falafel and toppings.
• Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for added flavor.

6. Serve:

• Serve the falafel-filled pita pockets immediately, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
