Falafel Chick Pea Burgers

1 19-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed

4 scallions, trimmed and sliced

1 egg

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 6-1/2-inch whole-wheat pitas, halved and warmed, if desired

1. Place chickpeas, scallions, egg, flour, oregano, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until a coarse mixture forms that holds together when pressed. (The mixture will be moist.)
2. Form into 4 patties.
3. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until golden and beginning to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more.
