    15 1/2 oz canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
    1/4 cup onion(s), chopped
    1/4 cup parsley, or cilantro, fresh, chopped
    1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1/4 tsp ground coriander
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
    2 tsp olive oil
    2 Tbsp Tribe of Two Sheiks Sesame Tahini, or other brand
    2 Tbsp water
    1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

    Recipe



    Combine chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and baking soda in a food processor or blender. Process until mixture is coarsely pureed and transfer to large bowl. Stir in flour; shape mixture into 4 large patties and let stand for 15 minutes.


    Preheat oven to 400ºF.


    Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until golden brown, flipping once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10 minutes more.


    Meanwhile, whisk together tahini, water and lemon juice in a small bowl.


    To assemble sandwiches, place 2 lettuce leaves inside each pita, add 1 falafel patty and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of tahini dressing.
