Falafel sandwich?

Question

I need a great restaurant that serves falafel in New York City for a June trip. We have really bad falafel sandwiches here in Orlando. Can you name a few and the area which they are located? Thanks

Answer 1

Falafel is a great mid east food. crispy, juicy and d**n good when u bite into them. a falafel sandwich is something where the arabian pita bread is stuffed with the falafel along with potatoe fries, brinjal and other veggies..all stuffed..and so d**n fullfilling.

To have a falafel sandwich you have to know how to make the falafel, which are small cutlets..Okay, I got you the link...go over it

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoons flour

Salt

Pepper

Oil for frying

PREPARATION:

Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.

Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.

Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour.

Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add flour.

Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.

Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes).

Serve hot.

Serving Suggestion

Falafel can be served as an appetizer with hummus and tahini, or as a main course. Stuff pita bread with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, tahini, salt and pepper. As an alternative, falafel can be formed into patties and served like a burger.

Serves 4.
