Ingredients

For The Falafel Patties

2 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained rinsed and dried
1½ cups mashed potatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
60 ml (4 tbsp) Hellmann's Original Mayonnaise
10 ml Robertsons cumin
10 ml Robertsons ground black peppercorns, to taste
10 ml Robertsons Atlantic sea salt, to season
30 ml fresh coriander, chopped
250 g (1 cup) cake flour
45 ml (3 tbsp) oil, for frying

For Serving

6 burger buns
30 ml (2 tbsp) Hellmann's Original Mayonnaise
3 Crisp lettuce leaves
2 large carrot, grated into ribbons
1 large, sliced tomato
6 slices of cheese

Cooking Method

In a food processor, combine your ingredients for the patties and blend.
Add more flour if mixture feels too wet.
Remove mixture and place in a bowl. Mixture is best left to sit wrapped in the fridge overnight as this will make it easier to work with.
Dust your hands with flour and shape mixture into 6 even-sized patties (if it is too wet, fold in some extra cake flour).
Place patties on a plate to await frying.
Place about 1 cm of oil in a non-stick pan and place on medium heat.
Once oil is hot, gently place patties in hot oil and allow the bottom to cook and turn golden brown. While the bottom is cooking, make sure to splash the top of the patties with hot oil to help it “seal”, this will make it easier to turn.
Cook until golden brown in colour on both sides before removing and placing on some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Assemble your burgers, making sure to spread some Hellmann’s Vegan Mayonnaise on the bun.
Serve with roasted sweet potato wedges.
