  • Serves: 4
  • Yield: 4 burgers
  • Ready in: 25 mins (15 mins Prep - 10 mins Cook)
Rethink falafel - while the traditional wrap is great, this is a tasty vegetarian alternative to beefburgers. Serve in a burger bap or pitta.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • 75g (3 oz) mushrooms, diced
  • 1 (400g) tin chickpeas, undrained
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • small handful chopped fresh coriander
  • small handful chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 50g (2 oz) dried breadcrumbs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying, or as needed

Preparation method

  1.   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add spring onions and mushrooms, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2.   Combine the chickpeas (with liquid) and garlic in ta blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the mushrooms and onions. Mix in the coriander, parsley, curry powder and cumin. Add the breadcrumbs and egg whites, and mix until thoroughly blended. You can let the mixture sit in the refrigerator to meld the flavours at this point, or go on to frying.
  3.   Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large frying pan over medium heat. Form the chickpea mixture into 4 balls, and flatten into burgers. Place the burgers in the hot frying pan, and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

    Tweak: iluvbread Altered ingredient amounts:

    I think I would have liked this recipe even better if I would have left out the curry. It seemed to overpower the other flavours. I only used 2 tsp... 1 1/2 Tbls seemed like it would be too much.

    Tweak: VAL_51 Used different ingredients:

    I loved this recipe!! Since I'm not a fan of mushrooms, I eliminated them added 2T. flour and about 4T. oats to fill out the mixture. The texture was ideal for falafel, and was delicious served on wholemeal pitta with sliced tomato and soured cream. Will definitely make again.

    I served it on pittas with yoghurt sauce and veggies. My husband liked it too.

    Review: mrsnorris

    These are delicious! I served mine on a sesame whole grain bap with tahini and a big slice of tomato, and put some greens tossed with a little more tahini on the side. I'm definitely saving this recipe!
