In the mood of falafel but don’t want to actually cook?
This healthy sandwich is the solution.
No forming balls, no frying. Just flavor. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and you have lunch.
Once mixture is coarsely mashed, mix in cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions
This mixture is also a great “mock tuna” – it’s great if you don’t want fish but will want something pareve, filling, and flavorful.

This looks amazing! Must try!
I made this and it was delicious!
This looks so good!!! It would be even better to mash the chickpeas with some tahini and take it to the next level!
