Whizz up chickpeas with garlic, spices and herbs to make delicious vegetarian patties for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 250g chickpeas
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tsp dried coriander
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 bunch(es) parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp flour (plain)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 100g hummus
- 4 burger buns, cut in half
Directions
1
Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly, then tip into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until lightly broken up into coarse crumbs.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
