Number Of Ingredients 31

6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 small shallot, halved
¼ cup fresh parsley leaf, plus more for garnish
6 cloves garlic
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup roasted red pepper, jarred
¼ cup tahini
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons water, as needed
1 persian cucumber, peeled
2 cups greek yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons fresh dill, plus more for topping
4 fresh mint leaves
4 pitas
¼ cup red onion, thinly
¼ cup cherry tomato, halved
½ cup cucumber, sliced

Steps:

  • Make the falafel: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Add the shallot, parsley, and garlic to a blender and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt, flour, and olive oil and blend until combined, but still slightly chunky, 15-20 pulses, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and rinse out the blender.
  • Scoop the falafel mixture into 2-tablespoon portions and gently roll into balls, then flatten slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You should have about 12 balls.
  • Working in batches, fry the falafel balls in the hot oil for 2-4 minutes, until dark golden brown. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain, then arrange on a serving platter, garnish with parsley, and set aside while you make the dips.
  • Make the roasted red pepper hummus: Add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, pepper, and salt to the blender. Purée until smooth, adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving bowl and rinse out the blender.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce: Add the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint to the blender. Purée until mostly smooth, but still with some texture. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with more dill.
  • Serve the falafel, hummus, and tzatziki with pitas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
  • Enjoy!
