Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas and add to the processor, along with the remaining ingredients.
Shape into 4-5 patties.
Refrigerate until set (or fry now if in a rush).
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden.

Hi, Madeleine!
I’ve been following your channel and trying your recipes for a while now. My parents and I aren’t vegan, although we’ve never eaten much meat – but we’re slowing heading towards a vegan, more environmentally aware lifestyle one step at a time, inspired by youtubers and bloggers like you, that make it so easy to see how a vegan diet can be easy, diverse, fun and nourishing.
I made these burgers today to try the recipe and I’ll be making them again soon in bulk because the three of us absolutely loved them! So thanks again for all the recipes and advice you share, and damn were these burgers amazing!
Much love
Madeleine Olivia

Hi
Do you need 800 gr of chickpeas or 400? The recipe states the chickpeas twice

Enjoy!

We totally loved it ! So easy to make and great in a pita with garlic yoghurt sauce! Hubby approved so I will save this one to be a staple in our home :)! The spices make it a bit different from the typicsl falafel taste but we liked that about it
