Wrap Assembly

Method

Falafel Patties

  1. 1

    Soak Chickpeas

    Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 12 hours or overnight. Drain well before using.

  2. 2

    Prepare Mixture

    In a food processor, add soaked chickpeas, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse until you get a coarse meal. Scrape down sides as needed. Do not over-process; you want a grainy texture, not a paste.

  3. 3

    Add Binding Ingredients

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in baking powder and flour. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the mixture firm up.

  4. 4

    Shape and Fry

    Using damp hands or a falafel scoop, form the mixture into small balls or patties. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry falafel in batches, turning occasionally, until deeply golden and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.

Tahini Sauce

  1. 5

    Blend Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.

Wrap Assembly

  1. 6

    Warm the Bread

    Lightly warm the pita or flatbread in a dry skillet or oven for 1-2 minutes, until soft and pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Wrap

    Place 3-4 falafel patties in the center of the bread. Top with sliced tomato, fresh parsley leaves, pickled turnips, and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.

  3. 8

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the sides of the wrap inward and roll tightly. Serve immediately while warm.
