Falafel Burgers
"I love falafel and it's so easy to make. We used to have a falafel hut in our town but it went to be replaced with all you can eat curry! Since then, I have been trying to recreate many of their imaginative falafel dishes.
These are quick and easy to make you can count this as one of your five a day and they can be frozen as well."

We enjoyed the lemony tang to these burgers, but we found the texture to be too uniform. They were difficult to cook as they did not want to stick together, so next time we might add an egg to help the batter stick together. -
we love falafel and used to go to an israeli restaurant when we lived in PA, this will help the hunger homesickness. i used 2 15 ounce cans of chickpeas and loved the results. i added a little bit of bulgur wheat in addition to the flour for some texture and fiber. served them with whole wheat pita and tehani sauce. -
Cooked this for the extended family and thy all loved them parents children grandparents. -
Amazing! I had to mix the burgers with tons of flour because they were falling apart. I also had to use cucumber-yogurt sauce because i was out of sour cream. Sooo good. Next time i'm trying them with sour cream. I also would omit the coriander but that's just my taste! Maybe more onions because i love onions. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
