FALAFEL PATTY MELT



Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 16 ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices dilled Havarti cheese (4 to 6 ounces)
  • 4 flatbreads or pita bread rounds
  • Romaine leaves (optional)
  • Sliced tomato (optional)
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place peas in 1-quart microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook on 100 percent power (high) for 2 minutes. Using a food processor or an immersion blender, puree garbanzo beans, carrot, flour, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the pepper, and salt. Stir in peas. Form mixture into eight patties.
  • Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until browned and heated through.
  • Meanwhile, place flat breads on a baking sheet. Place two slices of cheese atop each flatbread. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Place two patties on each flatbread; fold over. Cut in half and, if desired, serve with romaine and tomato.
