Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 scallions, trimmed

2 slices white sandwich bread

1/3 cup peanuts or almonds, unsalted

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 large egg

Olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/3 cup mayonnaise

Whole-wheat English muffins and lettuce, to serve with burgers

Preparation

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 the mixture into 4 3/4-inch-thick patties. Brush each side generously with oil; grill until charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve the burgers on English muffins with lettuce, mustard, and mayonnaise.
