Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup water
1/4 cup uncooked bulgur
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 pita (pocket) breads (6 inch), cut in half to form pockets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
16 slices cucumber
8 slices tomato
1 cup Yoplait® Fat Free plain yogurt (from 2-lb container)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat 3/4 cup water to boiling. Stir in bulgur; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 30 minutes or until tender. Drain; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in food processor, place chick peas, cilantro, onions, flour, 3 tablespoons water, the cumin, baking powder, salt and garlic. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off pulses 10 times or until well blended and coarsely chopped (mixture will be wet). Spoon mixture into large bowl.
  • Stir bulgur into bean mixture. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, about 1/4 cup each; shape each portion into 1/4-inch-thick oval-shaped patty.
  • In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Place 4 patties in skillet; cook 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer patties to platter; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 4 patties.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce ingredients.
  • To serve, spread 2 tablespoons sauce in each pita pocket. Fill each with cucumber, tomato and falafel patty.

These sandwiches were amazing! The falafel was crispy and flavorful, and the yogurt sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.

These sandwiches were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking the falafel next time instead of frying it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my falafel sandwiches turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

The falafel was a bit dry, but the yogurt sauce helped to make up for it. Overall, these sandwiches were still pretty good.

These falafel sandwiches were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
