These falafel Sandwiches are filling, crunchy and tasty.

I have toasted wheat breads with little butter and the golden brown falafels are crispy on the outside and the insides are tender and delicious.

For extra crunch I have added fresh Iceberg lettuce.

I have shallow fried the falafels instead of deep frying, so they contain significantly less fat than fried falafel.
