Today’s Recipe
On the fifth day of our 12 Days of Christmas in July Giveaway, my true love gave to me…these Baked Falafel Burgers from Architec!
INGREDIENTS for the falafel:
- 1 cup coarsely chopped white onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup lightly packed basil leaves
- 1 cup baby spinach chopped coarsely
- ¼ cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or a little more to thicken as needed
- Panko (optional)
- English muffins or slider buns depending on the size of the burgers
- Tzatziki sauce, Feta, Israeli salad or Greek salad as toppings
INGREDIENTS for the Tzatziki sauce:
- 1¼ cups plain yogurt, drained, or use greek yogurt
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ Cucumber finely chopped (seeded, sliced thin, drain, pat dry)
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped dill (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Spray or oil a cookie sheet. Add all ingredients except the flour to the food processor and pulse until roughly blended, not pureed. Add flour until it forms a ball or its dry enough to handle. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If the tzatziki is not already done, make that now.
Use the Architec™ Baller™ to make the falafel balls and flatten with your hands. Press into panko crumbs if you like a crunchy texture. Spray tops with oil, and bake at 375° for about 20-25 minutes, checking every few minutes after the 15 minute mark. Turn over if they start to brown too fast on top or bottom.
Mix everything together and refrigerate. OK to make a day or so ahead of time.
