FALAFEL FUNDI
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the drained Lentils in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until a rough mash forms. Add the flour, the grated garlic (to taste), ½ the chopped parsley, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the Moroccan Rub, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined and a rough paste forms. Add more oil or water if it doesn’t come together or is too dry. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until it comes together. Roll into 3-4 balls and slightly flatten to form falafels. Place on a greased roasting tray and bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway.
CARAMELISED Onion
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 7-9 minutes until soft, browned, and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) to caramelise it further. Remove from the pan on completion, cover, and set aside to keep warm.
ALMOST THERE
Place a clean pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the pita for about 30-60 seconds per side until heated through and lightly toasted. Alternatively, pop it on a plate and heat up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Slice the pita in half to make a pocket. Loosen the Tzatziki with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
PITA PARTY
Smear some Hummus in the pita. Top with the shredded leaves, caramelised onion, sliced tomato, and layer on the homemade falafels. Drizzle over Tzatziki and sprinkle the remaining parsley. Make a side salad with any remaining filling and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Beautiful, Chef!
