Falafel Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is coarse but well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, form small balls or patties from the falafel mixture, about 1-2 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Fry the Falafel

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly, then stuff each piece with lettuce, tomatoes, pickled turnips, and fried falafel. Drizzle with tahini sauce before serving.
