• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a waffle maker.
• Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray. Spread a quarter of the batter almost to the edges of it, close and bake until the waffle is crisp, lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use the remaining batter to make 3 more waffles. Keep the waffles warm on a baking sheet in the oven.
• For the sandwich fillings: To make the tzatziki, stir together the yogurt, parsley, dill, cucumber, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Mash the avocado in a separate small bowl with the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet lightly with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the meatballs and cook, tossing occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the onion and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are charred but still crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove to a separate plate.
• To serve, break the waffles at their natural divisions. Sandwich the meatballs in the waffles with the charred vegetables, tzatziki, avocado, feta and pickles, making 8 small sandwiches. Secure with toothpicks, if desired.

FALAFEL WAFFLE

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas and fava beans overnight. Grind the beans, parsley, garlic, leek, onion and bell pepper in a meat grinder, double grinding if desired, to get a smoother texture. (Extra batter can be frozen at this stage for later use.) Mix in the coriander, cumin, fennel and salt right before cooking, or the batter will turn.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer or preheat a waffle iron.
• Use a falafel maker or hand-form the batter into flattened balls (to ensure even cooking). Deep-fry the falafel until they float to the top and the number of bubbles emanating from each falafel decreases significantly. Or, for falafel waffles, spray a waffle iron with nonstick spray, add a lump of batter and cook until brown and crispy on the outside but still green and soft inside.
