I was starting to having withdrawals from lack of Vegan Stoner new recipes ...but the wait was totally worth. This is such a clever way to enjoy falafel without the need of deep-frying. As usual, you guys are awesome!
considering the fact that i LOVE all things chickpea- hummus, socca, falafel..this pie looks amazing! i've never seen falafel mix before though, so i will definitely be keeping an eye out for that next time i am food shopping.
i wish i could pin these recipes to pinterest! i used to be able to, but now when i try, it says that it can't detect an image on the pg. either way, thanks for these fantastic and creative recipes. :)
Wow this looks sooo good! I love this blog!! Please keep the recipes coming next time some fucktard asks me "So what do you eat, salad?" I'm just going to direct them to this site. :)
I just tried the boxed falafel mix for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the flavors. I would have loved a baked alternative but I don't know enough to guess these things. I will be making this! Thanks so much.
Not a vegan, but a friend of mine is vegan and directed me to this site and OH MY GAWSH I love it. Just made this pie and crammed it in my gob as fast as I could. Om nom nom. SO delicious. Thank you so very much. =)
Hi mitchfree — our comments don't allow images, but we copied/pasted your link and really enjoyed it. Here's a link for everyone else who wants to see your stopmotion of the making of a falafel pie: mitchfree's falafel pie
I made this recipe last night,and we ate the left overs tonight,it was even better,we ate it on a pile of baby greens and it was so easy on a busy night. I will be making this again with a few of your other easy and very tasty looking recipes!
Sooo I wonder what would happen if you tried using pita bread as like a "crust" base for this... You think it would work or possibly burn on the bottom?
So, I made this and it tasted wonderful but my base was nothing but crumbly. Yours looks almost cake like. Mine did not hold together at all. Maybe I got old mix. I purchased it out of the bulk bin. I know I measured correctly. Is there a certain brand that works best? I would definitely make this again with a different falafel mix.
My husband just made this, delicious but not as good looking as yours. Major shoutout and link to your blog on my blog http://gigi-2boomers.blogspot.com/2012/05/crazy-boy-cooks.html Thanx so much.
Brilliant! Will be making today to take to a party; but I have a feeling the real party will be in my mouth; can't wait to eat it! YUM! Love your recipes and graphics!
Just made it and it is awesome and so simple. It seems usually if its vegan its a pain in the bottom to make, but this site offers so many easy recipes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have made this recipe twice in the past two weeks and it is incredible! I'm not a vegan but looking for ways to incorporate more vegan meals into my diet so thank you for the simple ideas. Please make a t-shirt - I would definitely buy one.
I'm an Orthodox Christian and we have a vegan fast 2x per week. This is perfect fasting food. Thanx for the recipes I can't wait to try more. Two thumbs up!
This was good, but my pie was completely crumbly. It did not set at all. I think next time I'll try another type of falafel mix and maybe mix in some fat to help it stick together. Even with it being a crumbly mess, it was quite tasty
Hmm...mine was good, but looked NOTHING like yours. What size baking dish did you use? I used a 9" round stone baker. I also used greek yogurt instead of soy yogurt, and my topping was sooo runny. :/ Still tasted good though!
Falafel as pie crust, way clever! I tried this tonight and it's super tasty. I gotta work on the cucumber "yogurt" tho. Mine was pretty runny. Thanks for sharing the great idea.
We used a 9" pie pan as well, however we may have baked it longer and we really packed it down tight.
Try adding a little flour next time to the falafel mix to harden it a little more. Try placing the yogurt and some vegetables in a blender then blend till thick.
I think I would let the falafel mix sit mixed with the water for at least 15 min before baking it. That way it would be less crumbly and easier on the digestion.
Ok, I perhaps should try it first before commenting, oh well...
Great recipe, thanks! Had I read the comments first I would have known to pack down the falafel mixture into the pan and set before baking as mine was crumbly. So, I improvised. Imixed up the crumbly falafel with the hummus and spooned onto dish, and then topped with chopped cucumber, tomato and olives. No soy yogurt on hand, so I topped with a dollop of soy sour cream and the whole thing was attractive and delicious. Thanks for your recipes!!!
I made this for my meat-eating bf and he LOVED it! He insisted that we have to make it again and again. And again. Thanks so much! I never would have thought to bake falafel.

So happy you post these amazing vegan recipes. Thank you so much. ~Trudy http://thriftscore42.blogspot.com/
Best served when you have friends over, I suspect. If I cooked this, I would eat the whole thing unless I had some competition!
What a great idea!
Such a neat idea!

The Awfull Falafel box art makes me so happy :D Thank you for making vegan cooking fun again (not to mention simple)!

I cannot wait to try this . . .Scrumptious!
Brilliant! I'm going to try this.
Ohhhh yesss! We are definitely going to make this soon ;)
What an great idea! :o)
Should it be baked twice? Or, just the falafel-layer?
Hi Anonymous. We didn't bake it twice — but let us know how it comes out if you do!
Wow this looks sooo good!
I love this blog!! Please keep the recipes coming next time some fucktard asks me "So what do you eat, salad?" I'm just going to direct them to this site. :)

My homemade falafel attempt was a huge fail!

I tried this and it was AMAZING! A wayyy better way to eat falafel without the frying :)

Num. Just made this -- a definite hit. I will add red onion next time, but that's just me. I really enjoyed it, thank you for your great blog!
I'd crawl across the desert for this falafel pie. Does it come with water?
I am in love. This is my new favorite blog!
Great blog...thanks.
Sooo I wonder what would happen if you tried using pita bread as like a "crust" base for this... You think it would work or possibly burn on the bottom?
No, I make pita pizzas all the time! It definitely wouldn't burn as long as you keep the oven temp under 400
I tried this... I really thought the base would crumble but it didn't .. wonderful and thank you !
love love love the site!

LOVE. THIS. SITE.
Awesome idea, and I love the illustrations, too ;-) Awful falafel... hahahahhaa!
So, this site is totally rad, and this dish looks to-die-for good. I can't wait to give this baby a try.
totes awes. also, added shredded carrot, but could use any raw veggies....next time i would lightly out the pan, mine stuck a little but.......

Does this taste good cold?

Thank you for this!
I'm an Orthodox Christian and we have a vegan fast 2x per week. This is perfect fasting food. Thanx for the recipes I can't wait to try more. Two thumbs up!
Any tips for it not crumbling when you slice it and remove it from the pie pan?
jennilee,
Using a triangle-shaped pie server will probably pull the slices out much cleaner than forks and knives.
Just found your blog. Love the simplicity. Adding to bookmark stat.
Super, super fab!
This was good, but my pie was completely crumbly. It did not set at all. I think next time I'll try another type of falafel mix and maybe mix in some fat to help it stick together. Even with it being a crumbly mess, it was quite tasty
Nice one; Love your work!
Hmm...mine was good, but looked NOTHING like yours. What size baking dish did you use? I used a 9" round stone baker. I also used greek yogurt instead of soy yogurt, and my topping was sooo runny. :/ Still tasted good though!
Great recipe. I had no left-overs. The kids inhaled it. LOL.
Falafel as pie crust, way clever! I tried this tonight and it's super tasty. I gotta work on the cucumber "yogurt" tho. Mine was pretty runny. Thanks for sharing the great idea.
Made it tonight.....Delish! I used vegan sour cream instead of soy yogurt. Very tasty....Thanks for the recipe :)
this was delicious. i didn't have any yogurt, so i just mixed veganaise with deliciously dill seasoning and had a little bit of that on the side.
OMG! I'm SO glad I found you!
Hi Casey,
We used a 9" pie pan as well, however we may have baked it longer and we really packed it down tight.
Try adding a little flour next time to the falafel mix to harden it a little more. Try placing the yogurt and some vegetables in a blender then blend till thick.

excellent idea! I always hated rock hard falafel balls...this puts it to much better use!
Great recipe, thanks! Had I read the comments first I would have known to pack down the falafel mixture into the pan and set before baking as mine was crumbly. So, I improvised.
