Phenomenal Falafel Burger for Valentine's Day
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of soaked chickpeas
- 3/4 cup of minced yellow onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbs of fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbs of chopped curly parsley
- 1 tbs of chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp of pink himalayan salt
- 1/2 tsp of cumin
- 1/4 tsp of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of ground walnuts (or almond meal)
Preparation
In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients excluding ground walnuts.
Blend ingredients together but try to avoid over blending, you don't want to have a paste texture, and don't worry if there's a few whole chickpeas in there as well.
Transfer filling into a large bowl and add ground walnuts stir well.
Preheat oven to 400°. While oven is preheating shape patties to size.
Place patties onto parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes each side.
Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes. We put our patties in between two wheat buns and topped them off with fresh arugula, vine ripe tomato, and lots of garlic sauce.
