Tzatziki Sauce

  • 3 cups Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cucumber, seeded and grated
  • 1 tsbp olive oil
  • 1 handful fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

Tzatziki

  • Let's kick things off with the tzatziki sauce. Place a colander over a bowl and layer it with a few layers of cheesecloth.
  • Strain the yogurt by placing it on the cheesecloth and allow it to drain for 60-90 minutes.
  • While the yogurt is straining, grate the cucumber coarsely.
  • Put the grated cucumber into another colander and sprinkle with salt.. Leave it to strain for 60 minutes
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the drained yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and olive oil.. Then store in your refrigerator.

Falafel Balls

  • Now the fun bit! Throw the drained chickpeas, paprika, red onion, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper in to a food processor and pulse it. Pulse until the mix starts to reach a paste-like yet chunky consistency.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder and sesame seeds, and combine. Gradually add flour until the mixture holds together. Then cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in refrigerator for 60 minutes.
  • Heat up a large saucepan over medium heat and add oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the balls in batches. Be sure not to overcrowd them. Fry for about 2-3 minutes each, until nicely browned. Once browned, set aside on paper towels to cool and drain.

Falafel Wrap

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉.
  • Place zucchini on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  • Put a small handful of lettuce on a tortilla. Follow that with your desired amount of zucchini, halved tomatoes, cucumber, grated red cabbage, and red onion. Add 3 falafel balls and a large tablespoon of Tzatziki sauce.
  • Roll up the tortilla. Repeat with however many tortillas you (... or your guests... ) desire. Enjoy!
