Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (see Tip).
- Slice the onion into half rings.
- Chop the bell pepper into strips.
- Cut the cucumber into 5cm batons.
Tip: you'll use the oven later to heat the pita bread, but you can also use a toaster.
- In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar with the sugar, then add half of the onion (see Tip).
- Heat half of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the bell pepper for 4 minutes.
- Add the rest of the onion and fry for 2 more minutes, then add the honey and fry for another minute. Take the pan off the heat.
Tip: if you don't like raw onion, fry it with the bell pepper instead.
- Stir in the za'atar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with the lid and then set aside to keep warm.
- Transfer the pita bread to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 6 - 8 minutes.
- Heat the rest of the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and fry the falafel for 3 - 5 minutes until evenly browned.
- Finely chop the fresh herbs and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the yogurt, the pickling liquid and the mayonnaise, then mix well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Fill the pitas with the lettuce, cucumber, fried vegetables, pickled onions and falafel.
- Finish with the yogurt sauce and serve.
