• 4 green onions, trimmed and sliced
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 pita rounds (6 to 7 inch), split and halved

Directions:

Pulse the chickpeas, scallions, egg, flour, oregano, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor just until a coarse mixture forms and then form into 4 patties.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add the patties, cook until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn and continue to cook until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes.

Spread condiments of choice inside pita halves and add your choice of veggies such as onions, tomatoes, sprouts, lettuce, etc. along with a patty inside each pita and serve.
