Falafel Spiced Tomatoes And Chickpeas On Flatbread Recipes

Steps:

• Tomatoes and chickpeas:
• Combine garlic, sumac, red pepper flakes, coriander, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle garlic mixture evenly over top. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Toss chickpeas and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mash chickpeas with a fork until about half are smashed. Add shallot, parsley, and oil and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Yogurt sauce:
• Combine cucumber, yogurt, mint, and parsley in a medium bowl; season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Yogurt sauce can be made 1 hour ahead. Cover and chill.
• Flatbread and assembly:
• Whisk salt, baking powder, sugar, and 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Add yogurt and stir to combine (the yogurt's acidity ensures a tender texture). Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Divide into 4 pieces, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 15 minutes (this will make dough easier to roll).
• Working one at a time, roll out each piece of dough into a round about 1/8" thick. (Don't stress: They don't need to be perfect.) Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium.
• Working one at a time, cook rounds of dough until underside is golden brown and flatbread is beginning to puff, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is golden brown, about 1 minute longer; transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and rounds of dough. Let cool slightly.
• Top each flatbread with yogurt sauce, chickpea mixture, and tomatoes. Drizzle with more oil and season well with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Make the spiced tomatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the garlic, coriander, cumin, cayenne, salt, and olive oil until well coated.
• Make the smashed chickpeas: Add the chickpeas to a separate medium bowl and mash gently with a fork until about half of the chickpeas are mashed. Fold in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, green onion, and parsley until well combined.
• Make the yogurt sauce: In another medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumber, mint, parsley, salt, and pepper.
• To assemble, spread ¼ of the yogurt sauce on a warmed flatbread. Dot with ¼ of the smashed chickpeas and top with ¼ of the spiced tomatoes. Repeat to make the remaining flatbreads. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and the chopped parsley. Slice in half or quarters before serving.
• Enjoy!
