Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Chickpeas

    Rinse and soak the canned chickpeas in water for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.

  3. 3

    Form Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter). Place them on a tray or plate.

  4. 4

    Fry Falafel

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

Tahini Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix Tahini Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt until smooth. Adjust the water for desired consistency.

Pita-Wiches Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Pita

    Gently warm the pita bread in a skillet or microwave to make it pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble Pita-Wiches

    In each pita, add a layer of lettuce leaves, followed by falafel balls, sliced cucumbers, and diced tomatoes. Drizzle tahini sauce over the top.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the pita-wiches immediately while warm, with additional tahini sauce on the side if desired.
