Enjoy the flavors of Greece with these spicy falafel gyros. Crispy falafel patties, creamy Greek yogurt, and fresh vegetables wrapped in warm pita bread make for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 1 cup chickpeas, soaked overnight. 1 small onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon ground coriander. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 4 pita bread rounds. 1 cup Greek yogurt. 1 cucumber, thinly sliced. 1 tomato, thinly sliced. 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced. Lemon wedges, for serving. Tzatziki sauce, for serving. Hot sauce, for serving.
Instructions: Put the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend them together. Use pulses to turn the mixture into a thick paste. Make little balls out of the mixture and then flatten them a bit to make patties. Set a pan on medium heat and add the olive oil. For 3 to 4 minutes on each side, cook the falafel patties until they are golden brown and crispy. You can warm pita bread in the oven or on a pan. Each pita bread round should have Greek yogurt spread on it. Put falafel patties, tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices on top. Sprinkle with hot sauce and tzatziki sauce, if you like. Put lemon wedges on the side and serve.
