Meatless Monday Recipe–Rachael Ray’s Falafel Burgers
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 2nd, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Meatless Monday Recipe, Recipes.
If there were as many falafel trucks as there were ice cream trucks, every neighborhood where the Middle Eastern shop rolled around the corner would shut down!
Falafel is in its own class of plant protein–not soy, seitan or a manufactured veggie protein patty. The chickpea balls have the ability to make vegetarians and carnivores beg for seconds.
Rachael Ray once featured these on her show and since she’s the queen of daytime chefs, you can be sure there’s no boxes of dehydrated flakes to add water to. Plump chickpeas are combined with spices like cumin and garlic and crammed into a pita with just enough room for veggies like tomatoes and cucumbers.
For those that like their sandwiches sloppy, lather on the tahini sauce–the sesame seed paste will give even more protein punch.
Grab the recipe for four servings of falafel burger goodness.
