Chickpea Burgers

1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
4 scallions, trimmed
2 slices white sandwich bread
1/3 cup peanuts or almonds, unsalted
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. ginger, chopped
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Burger toppings (mustard, mayo, buns, lettuce, etc.)

Heat grill to high.

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, scallions, bread, peanuts, cumin and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Pulse until roughly chopped. Remove half the mixture to a bowl; add egg to food processor. Process until smooth; add to reserved mixture in bowl, and mix well.

Form 4 3/4-inch-thick patties. Brush each side with oil; grill until charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve burgers on buns with toppings.
