Ingredients You'll Need
Falafel:
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg
15-ounce can chickpeas/garbanzo beans, drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup panko
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/8 cup chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
Sauce:
Dash of ground allspice
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame-seed paste)
2 garlic clove, minced
Remaining ingredients:
Pita bread, sliced in half
Lettuce leaves
Slices of tomato
Slices of cucumber
Olives (optional)
Directions
To prepare falafel, place first 9 ingredients in a food processor; process mixture until smooth. Divide mixture into 16 equal portions, and shape each portion into a 1/4-inch-thick patty. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties, and cook 5 minutes on each side or until patties are browned.
To prepare sauce, combine yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, and 1 garlic clove, stirring mixture with a whisk. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini sauce into each pita half. Fill each pita half with veggies and falafel.
