  1. Lay the pita bread on the work top. Squish three freshly cooked falafel in a line over the top side of the bread.

  2. Lay a line of thinly sliced tomatoes on top, then some pickled cucumber, fresh mint leaves, sliced onions and fresh lemon including rind. Drizzle with tahina mixed with natural yoghurt. Roll into a Swiss roll. Tuck in the ends to eat on the spot.

  3. Roll in grease proof paper and eat like a wrap. If you would like to serve as a starter, cut in half and arrange on a plate with one piece propped against the other with extra tahina sauce and a little tomato salad.
