Easy Falafel Burgers Recipes

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:

• 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:

• 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.
