What You Get

Falafel mix

Tomato 

Cucumber 

Brioche burger buns

Green garlic yogurt

What You’ll Need

Olive oil

Salt 

Makes 4 servings

Active Time: 20 minutes  

Total Time: 20 minutes  

Step 1

Shape the falafel mix to form 4 patties, and set them on a plate near the stove. Line another plate with paper towels. 

Step 2

In a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat, warm ¼ cup olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the falafel patties and fry until dark golden and crusty on the first side, 5 minutes. Turn the falafel patties and cook until dark golden, 5 minutes longer. Using a spatula or slotted spoon, transfer the falafel patties to the plate with the paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Sprinkle the patties with salt. 

Step 3 

Meanwhile, dice the tomato and cucumber. In a bowl, combine the tomato and cucumber, and season with salt. Toast the burger buns. 

Step 4

To build the burgers, place the buns on plates, spread with the green garlic yogurt, and stack with the falafel patties. Top with the cucumber and tomato and serve warm.
