| Falafel Recipe "2 (14 ounce) cans chickpeas 1 onion, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 1 garlic clove, chopped 1 teaspoon ground cilantro 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 cup fresh parsley oil, for brushing 6 pita breads 1 head lettuce 1/2 cucumber, sliced " "Turn the grill/broiler to medium. Tip the chickpeas into a food processor or blender with the onion, carrots, garlic, cilantro, cumin, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Whizz briefly so that you retain some of the chunky texture to the chickpeas. Using your hands, shape the mixture into six burgers. Brush both sides of each burger with a little oil. Carefully place the burgers on to a grill/broiler pan lined with foil and grill/broil for 5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, toast the pita breads and tear the lettuce into strips. Stuff the hot burgers into the pita breads. Add a small handful of torn lettuce and a few slices of cucumber. Serve drizzled with a spoonful of yogurt, if you wish. " |
