Falafel and Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a coarse mixture forms.

  2. 2

    Form the Falafel Balls

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour. Form small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Fry the Falafel

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread hummus on each pita bread. Place fried falafel, lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion on top. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with feta cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the sandwich with your choice of fries, onion rings, soup, or rice.
