Falafel Ingredients

1 cup Chickpeas (canned or soaked overnight)

1 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

1 medium Onion, finely chopped

3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Ground coriander

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

Method

Falafel Preparation

Blend the Ingredients

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is coarse yet combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.

Form the Falafel Balls

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour until the mixture holds together. With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter).

Fry the Falafel

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Wrap Assembly

Prepare the Wrap

Lay out the pita bread or wraps on a clean surface.

Add the Fillings

On each wrap, layer the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a few falafel balls. Drizzle with tahini sauce to taste.

Wrap it Up

Fold the sides of the wrap inwards and roll from the bottom to form a tight wrap. Serve immediately.
