Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until a coarse mixture forms. If too wet, add flour to bind.

  2. 2

    Shape the Falafel

    Form the mixture into small balls or patties. Place on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fry the Falafel

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Tomato Ezme Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Ezme

    In a bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, red onion, green bell pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Tahini Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tahini Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust with more water if too thick.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Pita

    Cut pita bread in half to create pockets. Stuff each pita with falafel, tomato ezme, tahini sauce, cilantro, and diced cucumber. Serve immediately.
