Easy Falafel Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas and pat dry with kitchen paper. Tip into a food processor along with the onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, harissa paste, flour and a little salt. Blend until fairly smooth, then shape into four patties with your hands.
• Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan, and fry the burgers for 3 mins on each side until lightly golden. Serve with the toasted pitta bread, tomato salsa and green salad.

Steps:

• Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly, then tip into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until lightly broken up into coarse crumbs.
• Add the onion, garlic, spices, parsley, flour and some seasoning, and continue to pulse until combined. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into 4 patties about 10cm in diameter and 2cm thick.
• In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the falafels on each side for 2-3 mins or until golden (you may need to do this in batches). Lightly griddle the burger buns on the cut side in a griddle pan, or toast under the grill.
• Spread one side of each bun with hummus, top with a falafel burger, add a handful of watercress, then pop the remaining bun half on top.

Steps:

• Pulse the chickpeas, garlic, half each of the scallions, cilantro and pickled peppers, the panko and cumin in a food processor until smooth, about 3 minutes. Form into 4 thin 3-inch patties.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until a golden crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt with the pickled pepper brine in a medium bowl and season with salt. Toss the salad greens, chopped tomato and the remaining scallions and cilantro with half of the yogurt dressing in a large bowl.
• Put the falafel patties on the sandwich thins; top with the sliced tomato and the remaining yogurt dressing and pickled peppers. Serve with the salad.

Steps:

• Add all the burger ingredients, except for the feta, to a blender and blend until smooth. (Make sure your chickpeas are very dry first!)
• Divide mixture into four balls, then make an indent in the middle.
• Place a small block of feta in each indent and roll up again until the feta is completely covered.
• Fry in sunflower oil for 5 minutes until brown on each side.
• Add to a burger bun with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and coriander.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the cabbage salad: Toss the cabbage, olive oil, lemon juice, honey and mint in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the tahini spread: Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of water until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the burgers: Combine the onion, scallions, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Mash 1/2 cup of the chickpeas in a small bowl with a fork; set aside. Add half of the remaining chickpeas to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped (the mixture should look smooth but not pasty). Add the remaining whole chickpeas and pulse until roughly chopped (a few chickpeas may remain whole).
• Transfer the food processor mixture to a large bowl; add the chickpea flour and reserved mashed chickpeas and fold together with a rubber spatula until well combined. Form the chickpea mixture into four 4-inch-wide patties (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick). Place on a plate lined with wax paper. Loosely cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 patties; cook until dark brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is browned and the patties are hot in the center, 3 to 4 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining patties. Spread the tahini spread on the buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with the cabbage salad, pickles and pepperoncini.

Steps:

• put the first 6 items in a food processor and whiz to a chunky paste. Tip onto a floured surface and mould into 4 burgers (or 6 for children). Depeninding on the ingredients you use/omit you may need to add flour to bind them better.
• Burgers can be frozen at this stage.
• dust with flour and either fry in the olive oil for 2 mins each side or brush with oil and grill for 8 - 10 mins each side
• serve as desired. Goes well in a burger bun with sour cream and salad.

Steps:

• For the falafels:
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set a large pot of salted boiling water over high heat, and prepare an ice bath. Blanch the edamame and peas in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then immediately transfer to the ice bath. Drain and dry.
• Transfer the edamame and peas to the bowl of a food processor and add the flour, parsley, cilantro, dill, mint, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, caraway seeds, chili flakes, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until smooth. The falafels should be the consistency of wet sand and keep their shape when you form some into a ball in your hand.
• Divide the falafel mix into 8 to 10 burgers, depending on your preferred size, then form into patties. Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the burgers are keeping their shape-don't worry about flipping them. This step can be done ahead of time.
• To make the Tahini Mayo:
• Combine the garlic mayo and tahini in a bowl. If the mixture is really thick, add a little cold water to loosen it.
• To serve:
• Heat the canola oil in a large pan over high heat. Fry the burgers for 1 to 2 minutes, until the surface is crispy, then flip and fry for another minute. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Toast the brioche buns, making sure not to burn them, then spread Tahini Mayo on each side of the bun. Layer with a falafel burger, lettuce, tomatoes, turnips, and hot sauce to taste.

Steps:

• Spiced green tahini sauce: Pulse garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor until similar in texture to pesto.
• Add tahini and lemon juice; process for seconds. With motor running, gradually drizzle in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) water and process, adding more water to thin if needed, until sauce is light green and the consistency of sour cream. Season with salt.
• Falafel: To the bowl of a 2-quart (1.9 liters) food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, spices, and eggs. Pulse the ingredients together until just incorporated, forming a wet paste. Don't over-process.
• Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and add the breadcrumbs, mixing until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
• Pickled red onions: Place onions in a bowl. Heat vinegar, water, sugar, spices, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, then strain and pour over onions. Press onions down with a spoon until submerged.
• Let rest until onions are softened and liquid has cooled, about 25 minutes.
• Cabbage slaw: In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Remove the chilled falafel mixture from the refrigerator and shape into 6 patties.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
• Cook burgers in batches of 3 for 3-4 minutes each side, flipping halfway through. Once they are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Assembly: Spread about 1 tablespoon spiced green tahini sauce on the bottom of each bun. Place a burger on each bun, topping each with a tomato slice, pickled red onions, and cabbage slaw.
