Cauliflower Tabbouleh with Falafel Chicken Patties
By Christina Frantzis
This recipe features all the fresh flavours of classic tabbouleh but with a twist. Cauliflower rice steps up to replace the traditional bulgur wheat making this a gluten-free version. It is the perfect pairing for chicken patties loaded with the flavours of falafel.
Pulse cauliflower florets in food processor until they are the size of grains of rice.
In a large bowl, stir cauliflower rice with parsley, cucumber, tomato and green onion.
Whisk lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir into cauliflower mixture.
Falafel Chicken Patties
Mix ground chicken with garlic, chickpea flour, parsley, onion powder, cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Equally divide mixture into 4 and shape into scant ¾-inch thick patties.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties without overcrowding pan until golden and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
