Felafel and tabouli wraps recipe.  For a healthy weeknight meal, you can rely on these Middle Eastern wraps with felafel, hummus and tabouli.

Ingredients (serves 4)

200g packet felafel mix (see note)
vegetable oil, for shallow-frying
4 sheets lavash bread or mountain bread
1/3 cup hommus dip
Tabouli
1/4 cup burghul (cracked wheat)
1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced

Method

Make tabouli: Place burghul in a small bowl. Cover with cold water. Stand for 15 minutes. Drain. Use the back of a large metal spoon to press out excess water. Transfer burghul to a large bowl. Add parsley, mint, tomato, onion, olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, make felafel following packet directions. Shape mixture into 16 balls. Pour enough vegetable oil into a non-stick frying pan to cover base. Heat over medium heat until hot. Cook felafel, in batches, turning often, for 4 minutes or until lightly golden all over and heated through. Drain on paper towel.

Spread each lavash with 1 tablespoon hommus. Spoon one-quarter of tabouli along 1 short end of 1 sheet lavash bread. Top with 4 felafel. Season with salt and pepper. Roll up firmly. Repeat with remaining lavash, hommus, tabouli and felafel. Serve.

Notes

Felafel mix is available from the health food section of your supermarket. Shortcut: You can buy tabouli from the deli section of the supermarket, but it's cheaper to make yourself.
