Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. First, make Tahini Sauce.
  2. Place tahini in mixing bowl and add lemon juice.
  3. Slowly stir in the water; you are aiming for a very smooth mixture- it will appear stiff at first but will thin out; add more water if necessary.
  4. Stir in garlic, parsley and salt.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; bring to room temperature and stir before serving falafels.
  6. Next, make falafels.
  7. Soak bulgur in hot water for 20 minutes.
  8. Drain in a sieve, pressing out all excess moisture; place bulgur in a food processor, along with chickpeas.
  9. Pulse until chickpeas are finely mashed but not pureed.
  10. Place mixture in a bowl and stir in garlic, green onions, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce.
  11. In your preferred deep-frying vessel (a deep-fryer or deep pot or wok), heat oil to 350°F.
  12. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls.
  13. A few at a time, deepfry until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  14. Remove to paper towel-lined racks to drain.
  15. Divide equally among pita breads; drizzle generously with Tahini Sauce and add 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and 1/2 a chopped tomato to each serving.
  16. Serve immediately.
