Deli Style Stuffed Falafel Wrap Recipes

DELI-STYLE STUFFED FALAFEL WRAP

Steps:

• Mix the garlic, yogurt and lemon juice together in a bowl. Season, then loosen with 1 tbsp cold water if it seems too thick. Warm the flatbread in the toaster, if you like.
• Put the flatbread on a piece of baking parchment and top with the spinach or lettuce. Arrange the falafel in a line down the centre, then top with the cucumber and tomato slices. Add the gherkin, cabbage and a drizzle of chilli sauce, if using. Spoon over the yogurt mix.
• Use the baking parchment to help you fold in both ends of the wrap, then roll tightly into a burrito shape. Cut in half through the baking parchment using a bread knife, and tear it away to eat.

STUFFED FALAFEL BALLS

Steps:

• Put the falafel mix in a large bowl, and add 1/4 cup of water at a time, mixing well with your hands after each addition, until the mixture is wet and tacky and malleable enough to be squeezed and rolled without cracking. Let rest for 15 minutes. Add a little more water if it dries out a bit. (Don't be shy about adding water; the mixture may appear to be too wet to handle at first. If the mixture ends up significantly too wet, add a little more falafel mix.)
• Meanwhile, mix the feta, roasted peppers, parsley, Parmesan, olive oil, vinegar and mint with a spoon in a small bowl to combine, breaking up the bits of feta; set aside.
• Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in enough water to thin to the desired consistency for a dipping sauce; set aside.
• Drop the falafel mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Roll each into a ball, hold in the palm of your hand, make a deep indentation with your finger and fill it with about 1/2 teaspoon of the feta-pepper filling. Enclose the filling with the falafel mixture, and roll the balls until very smooth and there are no signs of cracking. Refrigerate while you heat the oil for frying.
• Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of vegetable oil, attach a deep-fry thermometer and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Fry the balls in batches, adjusting the heat to maintain the temperature, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve the falafel balls with cucumber slices, lemon wedges and the tahini dipping sauce.

ULTIMATE FALAFEL WRAP

Steps:

• For the tahini sauce, mix together all the ingredients with some seasoning in a small bowl.
• Warm the flatbread in a dry frying pan - around 30 seconds on each side. Spoon the tahini sauce onto the flatbread and top with the falafel and avocado, then scatter with the herbs, squeeze over the lime juice and add the chilli sauce. Roll up and enjoy.
