Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We are amidst the holiday season.  I love having family and friends over for festivities. But let me be honest, it can get very hectic too. All the daily chores , running errands , taking care of the kids and most importantly putting up a delicious meal twice a day can be stressful.

So when I spotted their newly introduced MorningStar Farms® Falafel Burgers at Walmart frozen foods section I was beyond excited. Guys falafels are delicious aren’t they??? but falafel burger is like taking falafel to a whole new level . None of the local restaurants around serve falafel bugers.

As soon as I came from Walmart I couldn’t wait to try these Falafel burgers for dinner. I was so relaxed because I knew it won’t take a lot of time to prep up dinner. As these are novelty burgers – that’s what I call them , I planned to serve them with a gourmet touch . But at the same time I did not want to do anything elaborate or time consuming. So I thought instead of doing the old boring mayo, lettuce tomatoes and cheese lets dress it up with  an easy creamy coleslaw . If you are following my blog you know how much I love veggies . So added some grilled eggplant too.The end result was explosion of flavors. This Vegan coleslaw falafel burger has everything – Protein rich falafel patty , loads of veggies, creamy indulgence in a healthier way and my daily dose of carbs from the burger buns. Does al this sound overwhelming?? I promise you it won’t take more than 20 minutes to get this yuminess on the dinner table.

How to make this Ultimate Vegan coleslaw falafel burger under 20 minutes –

The secret to a great burger is to start with an awesome burger patty.With MorningStar Farms® Falafel Burgers you are assured that it’s going to be great.

Every pack contains 4 quarter pound falafel burger patty. These Falafel Burgers are great grilled .

• So I switch on my indoor grill on 400 deg F and let it warm up for 10 minutes. 
• Meantime I slice up an eggplant , brush it with oil on both sides and season it with paprika , pepper and salt.
• Once the grill is hot I place the eggplants to grill on one side and cook burgers at the same time – each side for 4-5 minutes  . See how beautifully they grill without falling apart.
• Alternatively you may cook them on a skillet or even microwave them as per the instructions mentioned on the package.

While these are grilling up I quickly make the coleslaw . It takes less than 5 minutes to make it and then slice the tomatoes and tear up the lettuce. This way everything is ready to go on the dinner table under 20 minutes.
