Number Of Ingredients 19

1 can (15 1/2 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped red onion, plus 1 small red onion sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon tahini
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 pitas, cut in half
1 small head lettuce (such as Bibb or Boston)
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 recipe Spicy Tahini Sauce

Steps:

  • Place half the chickpeas in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until chopped. Set aside in a bowl. Place remaining chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cilantro, coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, lemon juice, and tahini in food processor; process until a coarse paste is formed, about 30 seconds. Add to bowl of chopped chickpeas; add egg, flour, and sesame seeds. Stir until combined. Shape into 12 two-inch patties.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add patties; cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from oil; place on a paper-towel-lined tray.
  • Fill pitas with lettuce, tomato, onion, and falafel. Drizzle with tahini sauce; serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my falafel sandwiches turned out bland and unappetizing. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

These falafel sandwiches were good, but not great. The falafel was a little dry, and the tahini sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste. Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay.
