Falafel Sandwich Recipe

Falafel Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Falafel Mixture

   In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Add flour to help bind the mixture together.

2. 2

   Form the Falafel Balls

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

3. 3

   Fry the Falafel

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully add the falafel balls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, diced cucumber, and diced tomato. Toss lightly and set aside.

5. 5

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Warm the pita bread slightly, then slice it open to create a pocket. Fill each pita with a couple of falafel balls, top with the salad mix, drizzle with tahini sauce and hot sauce to taste.
