Instructions

1 Start by preparing the rice. Add dry brown rice, 2 cups of water, and a splash
of olive oil (optional) to a large pot and bring to a boil, then simmer with a
lid on for about 30-40 minutes.
2 Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or lay down parchment
paper.
3 Assemble the falafel. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat dry. Add to a food
processor and pulse until forming a crumbly paste. Add the remaining
ingredients, except for the bread crumbs. Pulse a few times to mix everything
together. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Measure out ¼ cup of breadcrumbs and
mix in. Use your hands to roll the falafel into 1-inch round balls. Toss lightly
in the remaining breadcrumbs. Then transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat until
mostly all of the batter is used up. You should have 18 falafel balls.
4 Bake. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
5 While baking, make the sauces. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the
tzatziki. Then stir together all of the ingredients of the tahini sauce.
6 When the rice is done, remove the lid and remove from the heat by transferring
to a medium/large bowl. Let cool for a few minutes. Then stir in the olives,
cucumbers, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt. Mix well.
7 Remove the falafel from the oven once done and let cool for a few minutes. They
will firm and toughen while cooling.
8 Warm the pita on a dry skillet or in the toaster oven. You can also place them
in your already preheated oven for a minute or two.
9 Assemble. Spread tzatziki onto the pita, add lettuce and rice, then place 3
falafel balls on top. Drizzle with tahini sauce. Repeat for the remaining pita.
