BAKED FALAFEL SANDWICHES WITH YOGURT-TAHINI SAUCE
Although I have not made this yet, I LOVE falafels! I used to have them all the time from a little food stand while in college. One reviewer on the other site, said she thought 20 minutes on each side for the baking was better, so keep an eye out on them, you don't want them falling apart. I think Pita Bread for this recipe would also work just fine. It's worth the effort to seek out Greek yogurt, which is thick, rich, and creamy. You can make the sauce up to three days in advance and the falafel mixture up to one day ahead; then bake falafel patties just before serving. I think a blender or a hand-held immersion blender would work if you don't have a food processor. Take note, prep time does not include the standing time for the bulger.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add garbanzo beans, parsley, cilantro, spelt flour, garlic cloves, ground cumin, baking powder, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and lemon juice to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together and is combined but not pureed. Mixture should easily form into a patty.
- In the center of a parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet pour the canola oil into a pool. Using your hands measure about 2 tablespoons of the falafel dough and form into patties approximately 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches wide. Place falafels into the pool of oil. You may need to spread the oil a bit to make sure each falafel is resting on the oil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be deeply golden on both sides.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cucumber, cilantro, dill, mint, lemon juice and crumbled feta. Set aside.
- To make the tahini yogurt sauce, mix the greek yogurt, tahini, cumin and lemon juice until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk to thin. Depending on the thickness of your tahini and yogurt you may need to add more milk to reach desired level of consistency.
