Falafel Burgers
Pureed chickpeas, seasoned with the characteristic flavors of falafel, make excellent veggie burgers. We use a two-stage method for cooking the patties, first browning them in a skillet and then finishing them in the oven. Garnish the burgers with tzatziki or tahini sauce (see associated recipes), pickled red onions, lettuce and tomatoes.

Falafel Burgers

Ingredients

Directions

  • Place onion, garlic, jalapeño and cilantro (or parsley) in a food processor and pulse until uniformly chopped. Add chickpeas, cumin, coriander, baking soda and salt. Process until well combined. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. (This allows the breadcrumbs to absorb excess moisture.)

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Using generous 1/3 cup per patty, form the chickpea mixture into four 3-inch-diameter patties.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Carefully transfer the patties to a baking sheet; bake until heated through and slightly puffed, about 15 minutes. Serve the patties on buns.
