Everyone loves falafel; why not change it up a bit and make a burger out of it? This falafel burger recipe is full of fibre, protein, good carbohydrates and most of all, flavour.
Pat dry the chickpeas using a paper towel and add to a food processor, along with the roughly chopped onions, garlic, chickpea flour and spices.
Pulse everyting for a few times to get things moving
Add the oil and lemon juice and pulse again a few times. Do not mix too much; you don’t want a paste; some chunky veggies make this much better.
Transfer to a (chickpea) floured surface and divide into 4 equal-sized pieces. Flour your hands a little and carefully shape the mixture into burger-shaped patties. If the mix is too wet, add a little more flour until it dries, but don’t go too mad.
Lay the patties on a plate and place them in your fridge for around 20 minutes to firm up.
Heat some oil onto a large frying pan and fry the falafel burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Serve on toasted buns with hummus, spinach, tomato slices and tzatziki.
