FALAFEL IN PITA WITH YOGURT SAUCE
Steps:
- In medium skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and sweat onion and peppers 2 to 3 minutes then garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a food processor, pulse together chick peas, red chili flakes, ground cumin, the egg, salt and black pepper to form a coarse consistency. Then add flour, parsley, and cilantro. Pulse until mixture starts pulling from the sides of the food processor.
- Remove mixture to a large bowl and mix in the onion mixture. Chill falafel until ready to cook.
- Roll falafel dough into 1-inch rounds. Then form rounds into an oblong quenelle shape, like a football.
- In a thick-bottomed skillet heat 1/2 inch of canola oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Cook falafel balls a few at a time, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Be sure to turn them so they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while still hot.
- Open the pita bread to make pockets. Place 3 to 4 falafels inside. Stuff with lettuce tomato and cucumbers and drizzle sauce generously on the inside. Serve immediately.
- Mix the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, cilantro, parsley and cumin together in a small bowl. Add salt to taste. Chill until ready to use.

Steps:
- Make the Falafel: Soak the chickpeas in cold water in the refrigerator overnight.
- Drain the chickpeas and place them with the onion in the bowl of a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil. Mix well. Process the mixture a second time. Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls and deep-fry or pan-fry in hot oil.
- Make the Sandwiches: Stuff the pitas with lettuce and nestle the falafel patties inside. Top with the rest of the ingredients and drizzle with the tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
- Mash the garlic and salt together. Add the tahini, mixing well. The sauce will thicken. Gradually add the water, blending thoroughly. Then add the lemon juice. Blend well.
- Note: This can be a thin or thick sauce, depending upon the use and preference. Simply adjust with lemon juice and water. This can be used with vegetables or in combination with other recipes.
EGYPTIAN FALAFEL - PITA POCKET FILLER
This recipe takes a bit of time to prepare, but is worth every moment spent. With the help of an Egyptian friend who does not cook but remembered the main ingredients, I finally developed this very tasty recipe that is enjoyed not only by the Egyptian persons but by all who have made it or tried it.

Steps:
- In a large-size saucepan, add fava beans and cover with water; bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let beans soak overnight.
- When ready to use, drain.
- In a small saucepan, add quartered potatoes, cover with water and cook until done; drain.
- In a food processor or blender, process fava beans, onion, cooked potato and garlic cloves until smooth.
- Add coriander, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and process for a few seconds to blend well.
- Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Add chopped green onions, bread crumbs, deep fried dried onions, and baking soda; mix well to incorporate.
- With dampened hands, form mixture into balls the size of walnuts.
- Place on a lightly floured surface and flatten the formed balls slightly into patties.
- Measure roasted sesame seeds into a soup bowl.
- Dip flattened fava patties into sesame seeds, turn over to coat lightly with sesame seeds.
- In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil to medium-high heat.
- Carefully drop fava patties into hot oil and deep-fry for 2 minutes, turn over and deep-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until patties are cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove from oil with a slotted spoon onto paper toweling to drain.
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, add sliced radishes, chopped fresh parsley, diced tomato, diced dill pickle and diced jalapeño pepper and mix well.
- Wrap paper toweling around each individual flat bread or pita bread, place individually in microwave oven and microwave on HIGH (full power) for 30 seconds.
- Microwave remaining pitas in the same manner.
- Remove and cut pita at one end to form a pocket.
- Stuff 3 or 4 fava patties in pocket.
- Then spoon about 3 tablespoons of prepared vegetable mix into the pocket.
- Top with finely shredded lettuce and sprinkle with Beau Monde seasoning or you may use Seasoning salt.
- Serve immediately.
- You can also use canned fava beans but I prefer the dried fava beans the best.
- Note: Deep fried dried onions are available in most East Indian Grocery Stores. These are the best onions to use as they are crispier and crunchier than the ones that you can buy in cans.
