FALAFEL SANDWICHES WITH SESAME MINT YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, 3 to 4 tablespoons flour, herbs, garlic, cumin, cayenne, egg, and salt and pepper; pulse together until almost smooth. Transfer mixture to bowl. The mixture should be firm enough to form balls; if not, add additional flour as needed. Shape mixture into balls about 2 inches in diameter. Toss in remaining 1/2 cup flour to coat all over. Set aside until oil is hot enough to fry.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat until about 375 degrees F. Test with some extra falafel mix to see if the temperature is right; it should sink and rise to the surface and float. Add falafel balls in batches so as not to crowd them and cook until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
• Fill pita halves with a few falafel balls, cucumber, lettuce, onions and peppers, and top with yogurt sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Combine the yogurt, sesame seeds, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender; doesn't matter. Blend until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. When the hot, gooey, sticky eggplant comes out of the oven, drizzle the yogurt sauce on top and garnish with more sesame seeds and some fresh mint. Nice Moroccan dish.

TAHINI SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• To make a basic Greek yogurt style tahini sauce, add the garlic clove, sesame paste, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and water to a small food processor and puree until smooth.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you'd like the dressing a little thinner, continue adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you have the desired consistency.
• To make a cilantro version, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of chopped cilantro to the food processor. Make a Roasted Tomato Version:
• Slice about 10 cherry tomatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Roast in a pre-heated 400 F oven for 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool and add to the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Note that you can store your finished tahini sauce in a covered jar in the refrigerator for about 4 days but it will thicken as it stands. To thin it out, add a little bit of water and lemon juice, then check the seasoning again to get it where you want it.
