- 2 tablespoons (28g) tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions:
- Add chickpeas, oats, tahini, parsley, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles a thick paste.
- Divide the mixture into four portions and roll into balls. Use your palms to lightly form each into a patty.

Notes:
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce are a canned product that can usually be found close to canned green chiles or jalapenos. Any excess can be stored in the freezer and used at a later date.
- Tahini is a finely ground sesame paste that can be found in the same aisle as peanut butter. Tahini should be refrigerated after opening.
