Falafel

Pita

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

    Prepare Falafel Mixture

    Draining and rinsing the soaked chickpeas, place them in a food processor along with parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and flour. Blend until mixture is coarse but holds together when pressed.

  3. 3

    Form Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Fry Falafel

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

Hummus Preparation

  1. 5

    Blend Hummus

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed for a creamy consistency.

  2. 6

    Serve Hummus

    Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Tabbouleh Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Bulgar

    In a bowl, combine bulgar wheat and boiling water. Cover and let sit for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed and bulgar is tender.

  2. 8

    Mix Tabbouleh Ingredients

    Fluff the bulgar with a fork and add parsley, mint, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.

Assemble Bowl

  1. 9

    Prepare Pita

    Warm pita bread in a toaster or oven for a few minutes until soft.

  2. 10

    Assemble Bowl

    In a serving bowl, place a generous scoop of hummus, a few falafel balls, a serving of tabbouleh, and the warmed pita on the side. Enjoy!
