Categories     main-dish

Time 28m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 (15-ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
3 to 4 tablespoons, plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten with a fork
Salt and pepper
3 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
3 good quality pita breads, cut in 1/2
Sesame Mint Yogurt Sauce, recipe follows
1 English cucumber, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 small head iceberg lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt, preferably Greek-style
1 bunch mint leaves, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, 3 to 4 tablespoons flour, herbs, garlic, cumin, cayenne, egg, and salt and pepper; pulse together until almost smooth. Transfer mixture to bowl. The mixture should be firm enough to form balls; if not, add additional flour as needed. Shape mixture into balls about 2 inches in diameter. Toss in remaining 1/2 cup flour to coat all over. Set aside until oil is hot enough to fry.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat until about 375 degrees F. Test with some extra falafel mix to see if the temperature is right; it should sink and rise to the surface and float. Add falafel balls in batches so as not to crowd them and cook until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Fill pita halves with a few falafel balls, cucumber, lettuce, onions and peppers, and top with yogurt sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Toast sesame seeds over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl mix yogurt, garlic and toasted sesame seeds.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt: Opt for Greek yogurt or strained yogurt, as they have a thicker consistency and less moisture, resulting in a creamier sauce.
  • Add a touch of sesame flavor: Use toasted sesame seeds for a nutty flavor or ground sesame seeds for a smoother, more subtle taste.
  • Experiment with different vinegars: Rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar are all great options. Each vinegar imparts a slightly different flavor, so choose the one you prefer.
  • Adjust the consistency: If you want a thinner sauce, add more liquid, such as vinegar or water. For a thicker sauce, add more yogurt or tahini.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings: Sesame yogurt sauce should have a balanced flavor profile. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, garlic, or ginger until you reach the desired taste.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, can add a pop of freshness and flavor to the sauce.
