Ingredients
Method
Warm flatbreads in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side.
About 5 min
Spread a generous layer of hummus over the bread. Drizzle tahini sauce over the hummus.
About 11 min
Lay 4 falafel patties in a row down the centre of the bread and press them gently to flatten slightly. This gives a better texture in every bite.
About 11 min
Add diced tomato, cucumber, parsley and pink pickled turnips alongside the falafel.
About 11 min
Add harissa or zhug to taste. Roll the bread tightly over the filling, folding the bottom up first. Wrap in paper.
About 11 min
Eat immediately while the falafel are still crispy. The contrast of hot, crunchy falafel with cool, creamy hummus and acidic pickles is what makes this sandwich perfect.
