Ingredients
Wraps:
- 1/2 cup warm water (not hot or boiling)
- 1 tsp active dry or instant yeast
- 1 1/4 cups flour (plus a little extra for sprinkling on your bench)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil (plus a little extra for lining your bowl)
Filling:
- 800g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and patted dry
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 bunch of parsley, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- 4 tsp olive oil (plus a little extra for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 lettuce, chopped, to add some greens to your wrap
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 3/4 cups water (as needed)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- The juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- If you're making your own pitas, mix the water and yeast together and let it sit for five minutes. Then add the remaining pita ingredients and mix until 'shaggy'.
- Line a bowl with clingwrap, grease it with a little olive oil and pop yor dough in it. Cover with a cloth or more clingwrap and put it in the fridge to rest until it has doubled in size (for 1-2 hours).
- When the dough has risen, gently deflate it and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and gently flatten each piece into a thick disk. Sprinkle with a little more flour and then cover with a kitchen towel or clingwrap until you're ready to bake them.
- Using a floured rolling pin, on a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece into a circle 8-9 inches wide and about a quarter inch thick.
- Cover a frying pan in a thin layer of oil and fry each disk for 30 seconds, until you see bubbles starting to form. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side, then flip again and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Keep cooked pitas covered with a clean tea towel while cooking remaining pitas. Set aside.
- Mix your falafel ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Then shape your mixture into patties. Add a little more oil to your pan and cook each falafel patty for three minutes on each side.
- Now it's time to assemble your wraps! Put a couple of patties in each wrap with a little chopped lettuce.
- Drizzle with your dressing and serve!
