Falafel and Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Falafel

    Soak the chickpeas overnight in water. Drain and rinse them, then blend with onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and flour until coarse but combined. Form into small balls or patties.

  2. 2

    Fry the Falafel

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

  3. 3

    Make the Salad

    In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced tomato, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cilantro Tahini Sauce

    Blend tahini, lemon juice, water, and chopped cilantro until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly. Fill each pita with a few falafel balls, the cucumber-tomato salad, and drizzle with cilantro tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
