Not a lot of time to talk about tonight's movie. Still need to post today's idea for my (mostly) Handmade Holiday blog. I'll just leave it that the Mummy is a fun ride and staring at Brenden Frasier and Oded Fehr for two hours ain't so hard either.The Mummy Wrap
aka the
I've Been Cursed and Falafel Sandwich
- 1 (14oz) can chickpeas, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup peeled and chopped zucchini
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 3 flour wraps
- lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced thin
- 1 small onion, peeled and sliced very thin
- 6 slices American cheese
- Olive oil
- Yogurt cucumber sauce
Combine half the chickpeas, the onion, lemon juice, 4 teaspoons water, zucchini, cayenne, cumin, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Add remaining chickpeas to processor, and pulse just until lumpy. It should still have some texture. Stir into chickpea mixture.
Use your hands to pat the mixture into nine patties. Place each on a lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
To serve, place lettuce, tomato, cheese and onion slices on each flatbread. Place three of the cooked patties on each flatbread. Top with yogurt cucumber sauce and roll up like a burrito.
Yogurt Cucumber Sauce
Mix together 1 small container of plain Greek yogurt, 1 small cucumber that has been peeled, seeded and chopped, 1 cloves of crushed garlic, a handful of fresh chopped dill, 1 tbs olive oil, 2 tsp lemon juice, salt and pepper.

This sounds really good! My mom used to try to get me to eat falafel when I was younger. I wasn't too keen on it at that time, but I bet I would like it now!
Oooh, you SHOULD give it another try. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, a little bit spicy and very fresh tasting. Man. I wish I had another one right now. :)
