Falafel Burgers with Tzatziki Slaw
We love these falafel burgers! Crispy, chewy falafel burgers on a toasted english muffin bun with a tzatziki slaw and pickled onions. This meal is absolute perfection!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dry chickpeas, soaked overnight
- ½ sweet onion, diced
- ½ cup parsley
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ¼ cup basil
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
- toasted english muffins, for serving
- pickled onions, for serving
tzatziki and slaw
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup grated cucumber
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zest freshly grated
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 cups shredded napa cabbage
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas, onion, herbs, garlic, flour, cumin, salt, pepper, lemon zest and paprika in a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is combined and you have coarse crumbs. You want the mixture to have texture, so don’t blend all the chunks away!
- Form the mixture into burger patties. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the falafel patties and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve on toasted english muffins. Spread some tzatziki on the bottom of the muffin bun. Add the falafel burger and top with the slaw and pickled onions. Serve!
- tzatziki and slaw
- Whisk the yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic and lemon together with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and season more if needed. I like to make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge - it’s so flavorful!
- To make the slaw, add ¼ to ⅓ cup of the tzatziki in with the shredded cabbage and toss well. Serve on top of the burgers!
