Baked Quinoa Falafel Sandwiches

1Rinse quinoa (⅓ cup) well under cold water.

2Add to small saucepan along with broth.

3Bring to a simmer, cover and allow to simmer for about fifteen minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

4Remove from heat and allow to sit for another five minutes or so.

5Preheat oven to 350.

6Place 2/3 cup cooked quinoa (⅓ cup) (you should have at least this much and probably a little more) and all other falafel ingredients into food processor bowl. Pulse until well blended.

7Remove falafel mixture from food processor and roll as much as you want to use into balls.

8Place in baking pan or, preferably, cast iron skillet, and brush all sides with olive oil (1 tbsp.). Freeze or refrigerate any unused mixture for later.

9Bake for about 35 minutes, flipping every ten minutes or so to get browning on all sides.

10Assemble into sandwiches on pita bread, and dress with hummus and veggies.
