Fowlaffel Burger

filafel

I love me some falafels.  Traditionally, they are a vegetarian dish but I added a can of chicken to these.  No harm, no fowl right?

Burgers

  • 1 15.5 oz can of chickpeas
  • 1 5 oz can of white chicken
  • 1/4 small red onion
  • 1/4 tsp tumeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • Dash of nutmeg
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 small handful of fresh parsely
  • Small handful of cilantro
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds
  • 1 tbs water
  • Salt and pepper

Toppings

  • 1/4 red onion, sliced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • tahini (this is paste made from ground sesame seeds and can be found in the International aisle)
  • 4 pita loaves

Combine all ingredients in food processor.  Transfer to bowl and allow mixture to sit for about 20 mins then form into 4 patties.

Add olive oil to a medium skillet over medium heat.  Cook about 5 minutes per side or until patties are browned.

To serve, spread pita with hummus, and top burger with olives, cucumber, red onion, tomato, and a dollop of tahini.
