Crispy Falafel with Zesty Tahini Sauce
Pan-seared chicken and chickpea falafel patties served over crisp greens with a zesty lemon-tahini drizzle that adds a bright, creamy finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz ground chicken (93% lean)
0.5 cup chickpeas
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 cup fresh parsley
0.25 cup fresh cilantro
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 cup cucumber
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the patties stay firm.
In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, and cilantro until finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and combine with the ground chicken, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into 4 small, even patties.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice with a splash of water until the sauce is smooth and pourable.
Serve the hot falafel patties over a bed of baby spinach and diced cucumber, drizzled with the zesty tahini sauce.
