  1. As promised, I tried the recipe, although I used canned chickpeas. They came out great! I cheated and simply used plain tahini as a topping. I pretty much gave up red meat over a year ago. I feel better, fewer stomach issues. I’ve had falafel many times in Israel, and most American restaurants don’t do a good job with falafel. This recipe comes very close.

  2. I'm trying to figure out a way to make meat-based veggies. Makes about as much sense as these moronic burgers. If you are vegan, why do this? You want meat, eat meat. It's WAY better for you. And, oh yes, these things ARE trying to be meat. Why else call them burgers?

  3. I like to purchase my spices at markets that offer them in bulk. I buy about 2 tablespoons each, more or less as needed, of a wide variety of spices I use regularly. I typically fill my spice cabinet for about $10 to $15. I do this about 4 or 5 times a year, as needed. Much more affordable than individual spices when most are $10+ a bottle.

  4. Use an egg ring or a suitably-sized piece of PVC pipe, cut to a 3/4 inch length, to form the patties. Making them in a measuring cup and then flattening them is too much trouble and they might fall apart. I don't think the flour and water mixture with baking powder is at all traditional, so there must be another way.

  5. Falafel burgers are amazing. I would rather have a falafel burger than a beef burger.🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐🫶🏻🫶🏻

  6. There is no way that patty is cooked in the middle 😂

    I love this falafel recipe, make it all the time. I usually make small falafel Pattie’s with it (1/4 cup apiece) and freeze them. Thaw overnight in the fridge and they fry up beautifully.

  7. The chickpeas aren't cooked in the middle of the burgers, and since they were made with dry chickpeas that were soaked, but never cooked, I don't think they're very safe to eat. I don't think it will do terrible harm, but I have read that you're not supposed to eat dry beans without fully cooking them. What do you think?

  8. I bought my cuisanart food processor used bc of ATK reviews. It’s my best friend- it does have a few quirks mine does that sometimes too if I don’t twist it enough. Otherwise, it’s perfect. It perfectly slices everything. Cannot wait to try this recipe ♥️♥️♥️
