As anyone who has been following my blog knows by now, both
my husband and I are big sandwich fans, and any meal is just right for a
sandwich of some sort. Recently I tried the "Falafel Sandwiches"
(page 117), and were they ever good! I had never had falafel at home until this
recipe, and what a difference! No more greasy over-fried garbanzo bean balls
for me! In this recipe falafel patties are made from chickpeas, onion, garlic,
parsley, oats and spices, dredged in flour, and pan fried until golden brown. I
admit, it is a little difficult to get that "golden brown" effect
when "frying" oil-free, but in my non-stick skillet, I still get a
bit of browning and that nice crusty edge that is so satisfying. The finished
patties are tucked into pita bread (easy to find these whole grain at most
markets, but not always oil free) along with lettuce, tomato, and Lemon Tahini
Sauce. Delicioius!
