The falafel sandwich, fully loaded: hot falafel packed into pita with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickles and red onion, then drowned in a garlicky lemon-tahini sauce dusted with paprika. The contrast of hot crunch and cool crisp is the engineering; the tahini drip down your wrist is the proof of correct assembly.
Ingredients
- 12 Falafel
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 6 Pita Bread
- 1 Lettuce
- 1 Tomato
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 1 Dill Pickles
- 1/4 Red Onions
- 3 tsp Harissa Spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place falafel on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While falafel bake, whisk tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and paprika together in a bowl.
- Cut about 1 inch from the top of each pita to form a pocket. Add 2 falafel to each pita with equal amounts lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickle, and red onion. Drizzle each with about 1 tablespoon tahini sauce and some harissa.
