Falafel Burger

Step 1

Sauté the onion and garlic in the vegetable broth over medium heat until the veggies are softened and the liquid is gone - about 5 to 6 minutes.

Step 2

Add all the ingredients, including the sautéed onion and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until just combined. Do not purée - you still want to see chunks of ingredients. The mixture should come together easily when you press it between your fingers.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 4 equal size patties.

Step 4

Optional, but recommended: Place the patties on a parchment lined plate, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight. This helps the burgers to firm up.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. (If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you may need a tbsp or two of oil). Cook the burgers for about 7-8 minutes per side until browned and crispy on the outside (a thin spatula should slide easily under the burgers when flipping. If the burgers are sticking, cook another minute or two before flipping).

Step 6

Place all the ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.

Step 7

Serve the burgers with the Cucumber Peanut Relish on your favorite burger buns. Add any additional toppings you'd like: tomato slices, lettuce, etc.
