- Place 3 falafel balls on the bread, about ¾ down toward the end closest to you and then give them a squash to break them apart. Add layers of chopped parsley leaves, chopped mint leaves, radish, tomato and onion (see note 2). Depending on the Lebanese pickles you use, add a single layer of that too according to their size (see note 3). Drizzle the falafel sauce, (be liberal using good judgment) all over the filling.3 balls Falafel, ⅓ medium Tomato, ⅓ medium Onion, 3 small Radishes, 1 handful Parsley leaves, 1 handful Mint leaves, 1 handful Lebanese pickles, 1 drizzle Tahini sauce
- Fold the bottom of the pita bread up over the filling, then fold the right side over, and roll like a burrito. Place the pita sandwich half on the parchment paper, (to roll it half covered) and roll it away from you, then twist the end like a bonbon. Enjoy!

Notes
Note 1 - if using pita pockets, these do not need rolling. Simply cut them in half and fill them with the filling, enjoy them as pockets.
Note 2 - use good judgment to use as many fresh veggies and herbs as you like.
Note 3 - Be sure to strain the pickles prior to adding them to the sandwich.
