How to Prepare Falafel Burger [Vegan]

Soak the chickpeas and fava beans overnight in about 6-7 cups of cold water. Remove the skins from the fava beans and if you’re feeling ambitious do the same for the chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas and fava beans to a food processor and blend until a thick, relatively coarse paste is formed. Transfer the mix to a bowl.
Toast the spices in a dry pan until fragrant and lightly browned. Cool down the spices and blend in a blender or coffee grinder until finely ground. Add the cilantro, parsley, mint, spices, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add this mixture to the ground chickpeas/fava beans and mix to combine. Mix in the salt and pepper and adjust seasoning to taste. Mix in the bread crumbs and baking powder.
Form patties from the mixture and pan-fry at medium heat until golden brown on both sides. You can also bake them as per your preferences. Serve on a bun with your kale, tomato, grilled eggplant, cucumber, and tahini sauce, or your desired toppings.
