Panfried Falafel with Cumin and Garlic

Nearly raw chickpeas are the key to the toothsome texture of these savory Middle Eastern patties. Tuck the falafel into warmed pita bread rounds along with a leaf of red leaf lettuce, a spoonful of chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of plain yogurt or a dollop of tahini, and a sprinkling of mint. Keep the cooked falafel warm in a low oven while you finish panfrying the rest.
