Falafel Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
- 1 bunch scallions, green onions, trimmed and roughly chopped
- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, about 1 cup, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 tablespoons gluten-free garbanzo bean flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour, divided use
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
- Creamy Tahini Sauce, for serving
- Chili garlic sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Put the chickpeas, scallions, parsley, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons flour into a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until the mixture becomes a coarse paste. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties. Put the rest of the flour on a plate. Place the patties in the flour and coat well on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until crispy.
- To serve, place the falafel burgers on lettuce leaves. Top each burger with a dollop of Creamy Tahini Sauce. Add a dab of chili garlic sauce if desired. Serve the rest of the tahini sauce on the side.
