Fabulous falafel burgers
21 min
I like to do a couple of meals a week that are vegetarian, and I love these burgers. They are very tasty and quite simple to make. I don't like falafel that you can buy in shops so always make my own. Serve these with toasted pitta breads, tomato salsa and salad.

- Pat the chickpeas dry with kitchen paper. Tip them into a food processor, along with the onion, garlic, parsley, flour, spices and a little salt and pepper, blend until fairly smooth.
- Shape the mixture into little burger shapes (if you rub a little oil into your hands it will prevent the mixture sticking to them).
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add in the burgers and fry on a medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side until they are slightly golden. Serve with pittas, salsa and a salad.
Tip
You could use chilli powder instead of harissa.
