Method
Prepare the Falafel
- Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, 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. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Tahini Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust water for desired consistency.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Warm the pita bread in a dry pan or oven. Fill each pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and several falafel balls.
- Drizzle with tahini sauce and serve immediately.
