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.
