Shopping list (3 burgers)
75 gr dry chickpeas
Juice of half lime
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon of dry parsley
1 onion
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
salt & pepper & cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons of flour
2 tablespoons of olive oil
You'll need a food processor
Method
Place the dry chickpeas in water overnight. They will double in size and you'll have 150gr chickpeas.
Place chickpeas in the food processor (you can use canned chickpeas, drain the water first. I use dry ones because i find this results in more texture), add all the ingredients except the olive oil and flour.
Turn on the food processor for 1-2 minutes. Add the flour and the olive oil and let it blend another 2minutes.
This should result in a thick paste and not fluid at all.
Place in the fridge or freezer to thicken (1-2h in fridge or 30min in freezer)
Now take a dish and sprinkle flour. Take 2 tablespoons of the falafel mix and try to shape a burger. The shape is not supposed to be perfect as a rustic look is nice too ! Sprinkle flour on top and pat it with your fingers.
Heat some sunflower oil and some olive oil in a pan (not too much!) and carefully transport the burger into the pan so it doesn't fall apart. Fry on both sides for about 2-3 minutes.
