Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Falafel
- Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Place them in a food processor with onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.
- Form the mixture into small balls or patties.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Make the Tahini Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Whisk until smooth and adjust water for desired consistency.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Warm the pita bread in a dry pan or microwave. Cut open the pita and stuff it with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and several falafel balls.
- Drizzle tahini sauce over the filled pita and serve immediately.

Notes
For a spicier version, add some cayenne pepper to the falafel mixture.
