Falafel Patties and Tahini Sauce Recipe

Falafel Patties:

1 can (19 oz_ chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
3 tbsp minced fresh parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Add all ingredients to food processor. Pulse until mixture is the consistency of very thick cookie dough. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Using about 2 tbsp of mixture, form about 15 balls. Flatten balls slightly to form 2-inch patties.

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the patties to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until patties are lightly browned. Cook remaining patties.

Tahini sauce:

1/4 cup tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 cup water

In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients.
