Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse, grainy mixture forms. Do not over-blend.

  3. 3

    Form the Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Falafel

    Carefully drop the falafel balls into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the pita bread slightly in a skillet or microwave to make it pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of tahini sauce inside each pita, then add 2-3 falafel balls, sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and pickles if desired.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Enjoy your falafel sandwich fresh, with extra tahini sauce on the side if desired.
