Baked Falafel Burgers
Like many plant based folk my eyes light up when I see falafel or falafel burgers on a menu in Belfast, sadly however these eye lighting moments are few and far between and when a trip to Falafel Eatery & Coffee House on Botanic seems a world away, I am sometimes inevitably forced to make my own.
Imagine my surprise then recently when I came across Aine Carlin and her awesome "The New Vegan" cookbook & her Baked Falafel Burger recipe which I figured I would share with you here today. Please note I exercised a little bit of creative freedom with ingredients my based on what I had at home but they turned out great.
Enjoy responsibly, smothered in hummus & smashed avocado 😋
