chickpeas
🥗Healthier: lentils
💰Cheaper: canned beans
Lentils provide protein with fewer calories.
tahini
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt
💰Cheaper: peanut butter
Greek yogurt offers creaminess with less fat.
olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: canola oil
Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile.
pita bread
🥗Healthier: whole grain wrap
💰Cheaper: tortillas
Whole grain wraps add fiber.
Soak 1 pound of dried chickpeas overnight.
Toast cumin seeds in a dry saute pan for a couple of minutes until aromatic and darker in color.
Grind toasted cumin seeds in a spice grinder.
Add soaked chickpeas to a food processor.
Coarsely dice 1/2 onion and add to the food processor.
Add 2 cloves of garlic (peeled) to the food processor.
Coarsely chop parsley and cilantro, then add to the food processor.
Add cumin, salt, chickpea flour, and baking soda to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it starts to come together, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
After resting, add baking powder to the mixture.
Fill a pan less than halfway with canola oil and a bit of olive oil, and heat on low.
Prepare tabouli by adding olive oil to bulgur wheat to coat it, then add boiling water and cover.
Make garlic paste by adding salt to garlic and using the side of a knife to create a paste.
Add lemon zest and juice, and olive oil to the garlic paste.
Chop cucumber, removing seeds and cutting into even pieces.
Cut tomato in half, core it, and chop into even pieces.
Mince red onion and chop scallion (using only the green part).
Chop parsley and mint, mixing them together.
Once bulgur wheat is fluffy, strain it and let it cool.
Prepare tahini sauce by mixing tahini, yogurt, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, and salt to taste.
Return to falafel mixture, add baking powder, sesame seeds, and cayenne pepper, and mix well.
Scoop and form the falafel mixture into balls, then flatten slightly into patties.
Flour the falafel patties before frying to ensure crispiness.
Fry falafel in batches to avoid crowding the pan, until golden brown.
Remove fried falafel and place on paper towels, salting immediately to help the salt stick.
Assemble the platter by adding tabouli salad ingredients to a bowl and mixing together.
Toast pita bread on a burner to soften and slightly char.
Chiffonade lettuce by rolling and slicing it into ribbons.
Layer lettuce on a plate, top with falafel, and serve with tabouli and pita.
