PREPARATION

  • 1

    If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and then cook until tender. For this recipe, use 1 cup of cooked chickpeas.

  • 2

    In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, crumbled tofu, chickpea flour, chopped parsley, cilantro, onion, and garlic. Blend just until combined but still slightly chunky.

  • 3

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add in the ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to incorporate all the spices.

  • 4

    Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties or balls.

  • 5

    Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry the falafel patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, they can be baked at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through.

  • 6

    For the sauce, in a small bowl whisk together tahini, nonfat Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  • 7

    In a serving bowl, place the mixed greens and toss with fresh mint or extra parsley.

  • 8

    Plate the crispy falafel alongside the herb salad, and drizzle the creamy tahini-Greek sauce over the falafel or serve on the side.
