falafel sauce

Let’s uncover making the BEST Falafel Sandwich with the best Falafel sauce and toppings! This recipe will take over your ultimate favorite falafel wrap.

Best Falafel Sandwich

Pita Breads (with pocket)

tahini sauce

arugula

falafels

tabouli salad

red onion

mint

lemon juiced

Start by preparing your pita breads. Open up your pita bread without going all the way through.

Spread a layer of tahini sauce over the pita, top that with arugula and 3 falafels per sandwich.

Use a fork to crush the falafel open over the sandwich. This allows the falafel to soak up all the flavors and toppings of the sandwich.

Pile up the falafel with tabouli salad, red onions, fresh mint and finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Roll the pita bread into a sandwich or a wrap and enjoy.

How to make authentic Falafel from scratch using soaked chickpeas (not canned)  with Homemade Pita, Creamy Tahini Sauce, Pickled Turnips, Cucumber Yogurt Sauce  *Chickpeas need 10-24 hours of soaking time. Makes 10 Falafels (I highly recommend making a double batch of the falafels!) 

Authentic Falafel Recipe with Tahini Sauce and Homemade Pita Bread

dry chickpeas

Cilantro (stems ok)

garlic cloves

jalapeno, seeds ok

tablespoon Coriander

Cumin

tsp baking soda

tsp kosher salt (add more to taste)

olive oil

oil oil

turnips,

½ thinly sliced onion

C red wine vinegar

water

salt

tsp sugar

coriander dill

Cup plain Greek yogurt

Cup tahini paste

garlic

tsp kosher salt

cracked pepper

lemon

Soak 3/4 cup dry chickpeas in a bowl of cold water on the counter for 10- 12 hours or up to 24 hours hours. They will swell into 2 cups. Place in a strainer, letting them drain WELL, and pat dry with a towel for extra dryness. (Wet chickpeas will be more difficult to fry.)

Measure 2 cups of the soaked, uncooked chickpeas and place in a food processor and pulse repeatedly along with the onion, garlic, cilantro, chili, salt spices, baking soda, and olive oil, scraping down sides, until it is well blended but still coarse like sand. Don&#8217;t overwork it- this should not be smooth, but rather quite coarse and granular.

Using damp hands, form round, slightly smaller than golf ball sized balls in your hands. If it feels very wet, feel free to lightly dredge in flour if you like. (I usually don&#8217;t, even when wet!). Refrigerate 20 minutes. 

In a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet, heat a ¼ inch of &#8220;high-heat&#8221; oil on med-high heat until it sizzles when a pea-sized portion of falafel is dropped in.

Turn heat to medium.  Place them carefully in the hot oil, do not move or mess with them until a deeply golden crust forms (this crust will ensure they naturally releases from the pan). Using a thin metal spatula, carefully turn over. Lower heat if necessary. Sear the other side. Each side will take about 3-4 minutes. Cook in batches, not crowding. Place falafels in the oven while you cook the remaining falafels to cook them through.  Keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Bring all ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized pot, remove from heat, and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Middle Eastern Pickled Turnips 

Blend all in the food processor, until smooth. This may seem slightly salty, but trust me it works in the big picture when all the components are combined.

Creamy Tahini Sauce: 

I could not fry them without them falling apart.

We made the tahini sauce and it was amazing. We will be trying the falafels next week but buying the bread from our local shop.

Flavor great.... I tried to use canned garbanzos...let them dry but the falafels just fell apart in the pan no matter how long they cooked...very sad.  

Pita and tzaziki sauce are great

Best Falafel Sauce!

cucumber

garlic clove, minced

lemon juice

full fat Greek yogurt

dill*

black pepper

Water

Peel the cucumber and coarsely grate it. Place it in a clean tea towel or dish towel and squeeze tightly over a sink to remove excess liquid.

In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients, then stir in about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, until the sauce is smooth and creamy (the water amount will vary based on the yogurt brand).

This super simple lemon tahini sauce is the most traditional sauce served with falafel in the Middle East. It&#39;s tangy, nutty, garlicky and velvety smooth. It&#39;s also incredibly versatile - use it as thick dipping sauce ot thin it out with cold water to make it pourable which makes it perfect as delicious salad dressing.

Easy Lemon Tahini Falafel Sauce

tahini

lemon juice ((1 medium lemon))

garlic (pressed

In a small bowl whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt. The mixture will be thin at first but it will thicken after a few minutes.

Slowly add 2 tablespoons of water and keep whisking to thin the sauce out. If you want it thinner, add more water to reach the desired consistency.

This easy Tahini Dressing recipe takes less than 5-minutes to make with only a handful of ingredients. It's delicious on pasta, salad, veggie bowls, falafels, and more!

Tahini Sauce Recipe

tahini paste

lime juice (or lemon)

maple syrup

garlic garlic powder (optional)

tumeric (optional)

sriracha sauce (optional,

Add all ingredients except the water to a medium-sized bowl and whisk together.  

Slowly add in water and whisk until creamy and pourable. If the mixture seems stiff at first, continue to whisk and add small amounts of water at a time until smooth and creamy.

This makes approximately 3/4 of a cup and keeps in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Surely you jest! Just tried this for the first time on our veggie-rice bowls...no stinkin way this stuff will last 10 days in our fridge...we’re pouring it like gravy over here ...it’s not gonna last overnight!!! ? GOOOOOD STUFF!!!!! ??

My goodness me, this dressing is a winner in so many ways. Easy to prepare, tasty, lasts  considerable time in the fridge and can be (as I have done) used for a variety of meals. Brilliant over vegetarian sausages and home made black bean  patties. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Cheers.
