1 can (540ml) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander leaves
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
Generous pinch cayenne
Salt to taste
4 oz (125g) Halloumi cheese thinly sliced (or your favourite cheese)
4 burger buns
1/2 cup tzatziki
4 boston lettuce leaves
Sliced tomato, red onion and/or cucumber
- Spread chickpeas out on a kitchen towel lined, rimmed baking sheet. Blot with another towel until very dry.
- In a food processor (I only have a blender so that is what I use), combine chickpeas, coriander leaves, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, coriander, cumin and cayenne. Pulse until mixture forms a crumbly paste that holds together. Taste and add a little salt and more cayenne if necessary. Pulse again to combine.
- Form mixture into 4 even sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. In a large nonstick skillet (I use my cast iron), heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add burgers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on the undersides. Using an egg lifter, carefully turn burgers over. Top each with halloumi. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until burgers are golden brown and hot throughout, and cheese is starting to melt.
- Meanwhile, split buns in half and toast until golden brown. Spread bottom half of each bun with tzatziki. Top with lettuce, and tomato, onion and/or cucumber. Place a falafel burger on each bun. Replace tops of buns and serve at once.
