Recipe: Falafel Burger

I love finding new ways to make and eat falafel. Here is a recipe that I used on Wednesday. I made the same sauce that you can find here.

Ingredients

2 cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
1 large handful parsley, chopped
5 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1. Combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, flour, spices, and salt, and pulse until the mixture is well combined. Form the mixture into 4 large patties.
2. Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3 minutes per side.
3. Serve the burgers in pita pockets or on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes.
