Falafel
recipe
5 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup Greek yogurt
2½ tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1½ garlic cloves — minced
¾ teaspoon salt
6 whole wheat hamburger buns — halved
A few handfuls mixed salad leaves — washed and shaken dry
12 thick slices of tomato
½ red onion — sliced and separated into rings
MAKE the falafel mixture using our
Falafel recipe. HEAT the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium
heat. SHAPE the falafel mixture into 6 burger-size patties. FRY the
patties for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. WHILE the
patties cook, mix together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic
and salt in a small bowl until well combined. LIGHTLY toast the
burger buns. TOP the bottom half of each bun with some lettuce, a
falafel patty, 2 slices of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.
SPREAD equal amounts of the yogurt-tahini sauce on top and cover
with the bun tops.
