Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chickpeas
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Tahini sauce
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly in cold water.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roughly chopped red onion, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley. Pulse until well combined but not completely smooth. You want a slightly chunky texture.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add cumin, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and lemon juice. Stir with a spatula until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Use your hands to form about 4 patties out of the mixture, ensuring that they are packed tightly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the falafel patties in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.
Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a tablespoon of tahini sauce on each half of the buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by a falafel patty. Top with slices of tomato and cucumber, and finish with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with additional tahini sauce or your favorite burger sides.
