INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground chicken

0.5 cup Chickpeas

0.25 cup Fresh parsley

0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

1 clove Garlic

0.5 tsp Ground cumin

0.5 tsp Ground coriander

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Tahini

1 tbsp Lemon juice

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy texture.

• 2

  In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until finely minced but not pureed.

• 3

  Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and thoroughly mix in the ground chicken until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

• 4

  Form the mixture into 4 or 5 small, flat patties about half an inch thick.

• 5

  Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked.

• 6

  In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice, adding a teaspoon of warm water at a time until the sauce reaches a drizzling consistency.

• 7

  Serve the falafel patties warm with the lemon-tahini sauce drizzled over the top.
