Creating Your Falafel Burgers:

1. Begin by pre-soaking chickpeas. Overnight works wonders.
2. Once soaked, give them a quick rinse and toss into a blender.
3. Add all those greens – parsley, cilantro, and throw in onions and garlic for good measure.
4. Add your dry spices, including that aromatic cumin and coriander.
5. A little salt, a dash of pepper, and don’t forget the baking soda. Blend away!
6. Now, use your hands, get in there, and shape those perfect burger patties.
7. Warm up that pan, drizzle some olive oil, and fry those Falafel patties till they sing with a golden brown hue.
8. Just about 3-4 minutes on each side should do the trick.
9. Done? Great. Lay them on paper towels to soak any excess oil.

Tried and Tested Tips:

1. Want to turn the crunch up a notch? Sprinkle sesame seeds on your patties.
2. Patience is a virtue. Fry in batches, don’t overcrowd your pan.
3. Fresh out of the pan is the best. Serve them while they’re hot.

Gobble it Up:

• A tangy tahini sauce or Greek yogurt? Both work wonders.
• Watching carbs? Ditch the buns, go for lettuce wraps.
• Keep it balanced – a fresh salad or some steamed veggies.
• Fancy something extra? Add a side of grilled veggies or some oven-baked sweet potato fries.
