Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups falafel mix,
- olive oil
- 4 Tbsp hummus,
- 4 Tbsp tzatziki sauce,
- 4 slices cheese, omit for vegan
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 8 very thin slices of red onion
- 8 very thin slices of tomato
- 1/2 cup sprouts, or lettuce
Instructions
- Divide the falafel mix into 4 1/2 cup portions and gently roll into balls. Place the balls between sheets of waxed or parchment paper and flatten. You can use a heavy cast iron skillet, or even a tortilla press! Keep chilled until ready to fry.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a nonstick skillet with oil. Heat until hot and then, working in batches if necessary, fry the burgers until crispy and browned on the first side. Then flip (gently!) and cook until browned and crisp on the second side.
- Spread a layer of tzatziki on the bottom of four buns.
- Top with your falafel burger patties.
- Add your cheese ~ I like to use 2 slices of extra thin pepper jack.
- Top the cheese with your cucumber slices.
- Follow with your red onions.
- add tomato slices.
- Finish the stack with your sprouts or lettuce.
- Spread a layer of hummus on the upper bun.
- Serve the burgers asap while still hot.
Notes
- Double or triple the recipe for more burgers.
- For a lower carb option, serve your falafel burgers on a green salad.
