Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the 200g falafel mix, spreading it into an even layer, and cook for 5-6 minutes without stirring, until the undersides are golden brown and crispy. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1-2 tbsp water until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust lemon juice or water for desired consistency. Tip: The drizzle should be thin enough to drizzle but not runny.
  3. Step 3: Open each of the 4 whole wheat pita pockets and spread 1/2 tbsp hummus evenly over the inner surface of each pita. Layer 1/4 cup lettuce, 4-5 fried falafel pieces, and a drizzle of the tahini-lemon sauce over the hummus. Fold the pita pockets tightly into quarters, pressing gently to secure. Tip: For easier handling, lightly toast the pita in a dry skillet for 10 seconds before assembling.
