Filling Falafel Burger
Filling Falafel Burger
"Let’s face it – at first thought, burgers are boring, and if you’ve done one burger, you’ve done them all. To flip the script, FOODBEAST and Tabañero Hot Sauce decided to create this legendary falafel burger, because if you’re making a cookbook, there’s always room for a burger recipe. Falafel is a well-known Middle Eastern dish made of spiced, mashed chickpeas, which is traditionally rolled into a round ball and deep-fried. However, For this Tabañero X FOODBEAST recipe, you’ll add the chickpeas to a food processor to create a falafel burger patty, rather than forming them into round balls."
Ingredients
- 3 cups dry chickpeas soaked overnight (canned will not work!)
- 2 shallots
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- 7 cloves of garlic, roasted
- all purpose flour, as needed
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 3 ounces Tabañero hot sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon cardamom
