Falafel and Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Making the Falafel Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Forming the Patties

    Shape the falafel mixture into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Frying the Falafel

    In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Preparing the Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread slightly. Spread hummus on one side of each pita, add the fried falafel patties, then layer with tahini sauce, pickles, tomato slices, onion, and lettuce.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your falafel sandwich!
