Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine carrots, cilantro, parsley, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic. Pulse until well chopped, but not smooth.
  2. Add in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the chick peas, and egg. Pulse until all beans are coarsely chopped.
  3. Form into balls and gently flatten.
  4. Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add remaining oil, and grill chick pea patties until golden brown on both sides.
  5. Place in pita pockets with tzatziki, tomatoes, and lettuce. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Tzatziki -
  7. Place yogurt in a sieve, lined with two heavy-duty white paper towels (like Kirkland brand, or Bounty), set over a bowl. Let it drain over night in the fridge, or for at least 4 hours.
  8. When the yogurt has fully drained, take the grated cucumber and wrap in two new paper towels. Squeeze out any excess water over the sink.
  9. In a small bowl, combine cucumber, yogurt, and all remaining ingredients. Keep refrigerated.
