Low FODMAP Falafel Burgers | FODMAP Friendly Recipe Of The Week
Posted on December 06, 2019
Falafels are notorious for containing high FODMAP ingredients, and bread? Most of us FODMAPpers wouldn’t dream of eating a whole bread roll.
That’s all about to change with our falafel burger recipe, featuring Helga’s newly certified low FODMAP gluten free bread rolls.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- Falafels
- 1 cup lentils, drained and rinsed
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- ¼ cup low FODMAP flour – we love Lofo Pantry’s certified flours
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons garlic infused extra virgin olive oil (+ extra to grease) – we love Cobram Estate’s certified varieties
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion replacer – we love FreeFOD’s certified onion replacer
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 Helga’s gluten free bread rolls
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- Low FODMAP mayonnaise – we love Lowy’s certified mayonnaise
Method:
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius
- Prepare falafels: place all falafel ingredients in a food processor (ensuring lentils are drained and rinsed well) and blend until a smooth consistency is reached (adding very small amounts of water if the mixture is too dry)
- Line a baking tray and grease with olive oil
- Shape a spoonful of mixture at a time into a ball and press into a patty shape before placing on the tray and drizzling with oil
- Bake for approx. 15 mins or until nicely browned
- Prepare rolls: slice rolls in half and fill with lettuce and tomato
- Place cooked falafels on top of salad fillings, place a slice of cheese on top of falafel to melt and add a dollop of low FODMAP mayo
Enjoy!
