Servings

4

Ingredients

• 1 bundle fresh parsley
• 3 large cloves garlic
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, well rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup ground raw walnuts, pecans, or almonds
• garlic sauce
• sriracha
• hummus
• tomato, sliced
• lettuce
• 4 pitas

Directions

1. Add parsley, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to a food processor and mix to combine.
2. Add chickpeas and pulse until incorporated but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add nut meal and mix again until a loose dough is formed that’s firm enough to be handled. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
3. Form the dough into 4 sections. Use your hands to form the sections into 4 large patties, roughly ½ inch thick. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
6. Serve in a pita topped with desired sauces, tomato, and lettuce.
