I know I'm jumping in kind of late on this, but sprouted green pea falafel is a very inexpensive, flavorful and nutritious food that's easy to fit/make into a meal. Dry green peas can be had in bulk for change.
Soak, drain and sprout as you would (a little or a lot).
Toss in blender with garden greens/weeds/herbs, garlic and salt. The garlic mellows so put an extra clove in. Ramps, Garlic chives or Society Garlic are also great!
Don't over-blend; let there still be crumbs/pieces.
Form balls and press onto generously oily skillet until golden.
Needs oil! Balance your quality/budget ratio accordingly.
It's an unassuming recipe but often turns out surprisingly irresistible.
Best of luck!
