Step 1

In your food processor, place the chickpeas, ¾ of the onion (coarsely chopped), garlic, parsley, coriander, cumin, flour, egg, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Process the ingredients until they are well blended.

Step 3

Pour the oil into a frying pan so that it is 1 – 2 inches up the side.

Step 4

Turn the heat to medium-high and wait for the oil to get hot.

Step 5

Use a cookie scooper or two spoons to drop small dollops of the falafel batter into the hot oil. Larger dollops will have moist falafel centers, while smaller dollops will result in crunchier falafel.

Step 6

Allow the falafel to cook for 2 -3 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to flip them over and fry the other side.

Step 7

When the outside is golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the falafel and place on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Step 8

Chop the remaining ¼ of the onion and place in a small bowl.

Step 9

Cut the grape tomatoes and place them in the bowl with the onion.

Step 10

Stir the onions and tomatoes until they’re combined.

Step 11

Wash and dry your butter lettuce leaves and place them flat on a plate.

Step 12

In each leaf, place a scoop of hommus, a falafel ball, some tomato/onion mixture, and tzatziki if desired.

Step 13

Other fun add-ons may be shredded carrot, chunks of cooked beets, or some quinoa!
