Falafel Burgers
- Author: Hilah Johnson
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
- 1 1/2 cups cooked, drained chickpeas
- 1 cup minced mushrooms (about 6 button mushrooms)
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour (or all purpose flour)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley and/or cilantro
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 large cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (less if using canned chickpeas)
- Coarsely chop the chickpeas in a food processor or blender. (I use a mini-chopper to do the chickpeas in one batch, the onion and garlic in another batch.)
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mash it around with a fork until you get a chunky dough that is soft enough to stick together. Add more tahini or a little yogurt of it’s dry.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with a little oil.
- Form into 4 patties, about a heaping half-cup measure each.
- Fry the patties until browned and heated through, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve as you would a burger, or serve as you would a falafel with tzatsiki.
