Ingredients
Sauce:
- 1 cup water hot
- ¼ cup tahini sesame seed paste
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
Patties:
- 1 cup onion red, chopped
- ½ cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 chickpeas aka garbanzo beans, 15-ounce cans, rinsed and drained
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon
Remaining ingredients:
- 6 mini pita about 5 inches wide
- 3 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 2 cups tomato chopped
- 2 cups cucumber sliced, peeled
- ½ cup onion red, finely chopped
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Place the first 5 ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
- Make the patties: Place 1 cup onion and the next 7 ingredients (through 4 garlic cloves) in a food processor; process until smooth, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Place the bean mixture in a large bowl; stir in ¼ cup of the breadcrumbs. Divide the bean mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a ½-inch-thick patty. Place the remaining breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge the patties in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add 3 patties to the pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure with the remaining oil and patties.
- Warm the mini pitas according to package directions. Top each pita with ½ cup lettuce, ⅓ cup tomato, ⅓ cup cucumber, and 4 teaspoons onion. Drizzle each serving with about 3 tablespoons of the sauce; top with 1 patty.
