Home made pitas and falafel for steemit sandwich contest week 90

Today I was making my own pitas, they only sell small pitas at the shop and you can't put much in it, so I just made my own with some falafel, because they are quite expensive to buy and some of the ingredients have a lot of numbers (nasty preservatives). To make the pitas it is only 4 things needed.

Ingredients for pita

300g holemeal flour
2 tablespoons dried yeast
Pinch of salt
200ml warm water

Just a matter of mixing those things up and rolling them out.

Preheat oven nice and warm and bang them in until they rise and go golden brown, it doesn't take long, about 10 minutes.

Falafel is also quite easy to make, here is a bullet proof recipe.

Ingredients for falafel

500g cooked chickpeas
1 potato cooked
1 onion
4 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Pinch of salt

I like to use turmeric in most of the things I cook because of the health benefits, anti inflammatory, restoration of cells and fights off cancer, black pepper needs to be with it to help activate it, I found this information from Dr Greger.

I cook the potato with the skin on and once cooked I peel it off. First in the food processor goes the onions and garlic with parsley.

Then chickpeas, spices and potato

Once processed roll in some crumbs and lay on a tray.

And baked for 30 minutes.

OK so what's inside the pita? We got home made lemon and mustard humus with spinach leaves, tomatoes, avo, cucumber, sour kraut, carrot, yellow pepper and falafel.

It was massive, and I was absolutely stuffed after that, but it was worth it, totally awesome!

Thanks for checking out my pitas and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
