2 scallions, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (3 cups)
1/4 cup tahini
3 eggs
1 medium carrot, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil (to taste)

Steps:

Set the oven at 300 degrees. In a food processor, combine the scallions, garlic, onion, chickpeas, tahini, eggs, carrot, feta, Parmesan, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse the mixture until well blended. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs.
Shape the chick pea mixture into 8 patties. Set the oven at 300 degrees. Have on hand a rimmed baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Working in two batches, cook 4 patties for 6 minutes or until browned on the bottom. Turn and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more or until the patties are brown on the bottom and hot in the center.
Place the burgers on a baking sheet; keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining patties in the same way.
