Pita sandwich with falafel and cheese

Instructions

• • In a food processor, blend all the falafel ingredients, adding water gradually until you get a mixture that is not very smooth but has a little texture. It should not be too crumbly but not too smooth like cream. Aim for a rough-textured dough consistency. When you hold some in your hand and press it, it should hold its shape.
  • Preheat your deep pan with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a falafel mold, two spoons, or just your hand to shape the falafel. Smooth the surface with some water, dip the falafel in sesame seeds, and fry in the hot oil. This will take 2-3 minutes. Turn the falafel occasionally until they are puffed, golden, and crispy from all sides.
  • Drain the falafel on a paper towel while finishing the rest.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients until well combined.
  • To assemble the sandwich, cut the pita bread in half. Open the pita and fill it with 3-4 falafel pieces. Add the toppings: tomatoes, cucumber, mint, and pickles.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the filling.
  • Serve with extra sauce on the side.
