Here is how you make Falafel:

Combine all falafel ingredients expect oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse mixture until coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl or container and refrigerate, covered, for several hours. Form the falafel mixture into balls about the size of walnuts and press to flatten. Heat 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a deep pot or deep fryer. Fry about 6 balls at once for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Stuff each pita with 4 falafel balls, chopped tomatoes, lettuce, and tahini. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CMKAMINSKI5381.
