Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g (canned, drained and rinsed) Chickpeas
- 1 small, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 30 g Fresh parsley
- 30 g Fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 50 g Chickpea flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 1 small, sliced Cucumber
Instructions
Prepare the chickpea mixture by placing the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper into a food processor.
Pulse the food processor until the mixture is coarsely combined but not pureed. You want to maintain some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chickpea flour until well combined. This will help bind the falafel mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties using your hands.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the falafel patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by lightly toasting them if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a large lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a falafel patty.
Top each patty with a slice of tomato and cucumber.
Cover with the top half of the burger bun and serve immediately.
