Number Of Ingredients 27

For tahini sauce
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
4 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For falafel
1 cup dried chickpeas, refrigerated overnight in water to cover by 2 inches, then drained, or 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
1 small onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
About 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
To serve
5 to 6 pita breads, top 1/3 cut off each

1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
Pickled turnip*

Harissa hot sauce
*Available from ethnicgrocer.com

Steps:

  • Make tahini sauce
  • In food processor or blender, combine all ingredients and 1/4 cup water. Process into smooth paste. (DO AHEAD: Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.)
  • Make falafel
  • In food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, red pepper flakes, and baking soda. Pulse just until finely chopped and crumbly (mixture will resemble wet bread crumbs; do not overprocess into paste, or balls will be heavy). (DO AHEAD: Mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.)
  • In large shallow skillet over moderately high heat, heat 3 inches oil until thermometer registers 350°F.
  • Using 2 teaspoons or falafel scoop, form mixture into approximately 1-inch-diameter balls or disks. Working in batches of 5, lower carefully into hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat to fry remaining falafel, returning oil to 350°F between each batch.

  • Soak the chickpeas in plenty of cold water overnight. Check them after several hours to make sure that they remain covered with water as they swell.
  • Drain the chickpeas and put them in the food processor. Add the onion, garlic and fresh herbs. Whizz them to a manageable consistency, a mass that sticks to itself, but is not yet mushy or pasty. You will need to stop the food processor and scrape the sides down a few times.
  • Add the spices, flour, baking powder and salt. Add 3 tablespoons of water. Run the food processor again to blend. Add the final tablespoon of water if it seems necessary to hold the mass together.
  • Turn the chickpea mass out into a bowl for convenience. Heat the oil in a heavy pan until it shimmers.
