This one definitely will need work, especially since my mindset has changed to:  What would I serve in my restaurant?  I think this was good, but not quite there.

Ingredients:

• Nan
• Baby Arugala
• Tomato
• Pickles
• Tahini Sauce
• Alfalfa Sprouts
• Falafel

Construction:

1. I made the Tahini Sauce from a recipe I found in Vegan with a Vengeance.  It’s a great cookbook, so I suggest picking it up.
2. While the Tahini Sauce chilled in the fridge, I went to visit my wife at work with my year-and-a-half old in tow.  This is not a critical step to the recipe.
3. Although I would like to make this from scratch (I’m sure there’s a recipe in Vegan with a Vengeance, but I took the easy way out), I used a pre-packaged Falafel mix, which I put together at this time.
4. While this is going on, I also made dinner for my son – he had a Vegan Boca Chicken patty, apple sauce, and some red pepper.  Again, this is not critical to the falafel sandwich recipe.
5. I cooked the falafel per the box instructions (my only deviation from the instructions was me burning the first 3 of 9 balls that I made).
6. I used Nan, as my bread base.  I think this was my first disappointment.  The nan is awesome – don’t get me wrong.  Aladdin’s makes a great product, but this didn’t work for me.  The Nan I bought started to break a little and was just a little too small.  I have to find a better bread.  I saw online that Aladdin’s makes a Nan wrap.  Maybe that’ll be a little better for what I’m envisioning.
7. I topped the Nan with some Baby Arugala (it’s the first time I had it at home – kind of a nutty taste to it, I thought – I really enjoyed it), Sliced Tomato, Bread and Butter Pickle slices (Giant Eagle brand), 3 Falafel balls, Tahini Sauce (I just put on two spoonfuls), and finally Alfalfa Sprouts. 
8. I did my best to bend the Nan to eat like a wrap and ate this sandwich with a side of red grapes.  It tasted good - especially for my first home-made Falafel sandwich.

I think I have some ideas on how I would like to make this better and will be looking into some recipes to make the falafel from scratch, so I can alter it in my own way.  Can’t wait to taste the leftover falafel to see if it still tastes good.  If it does, I figure I could always make a batch on Sunday or something and put in the fridge for the coming week.
