Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup flaxseed
1 (19-oz) can chickpeas ( garbanzo beans)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tbsp flaxseed
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 tsp olive oil
cooking spray
4 (6-inch) pitas, cut in half
8 curly leaf lettuce leaves
mediterranean chopped salad
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt

Directions:

Place 1/3 cup flaxseed in a blender or clean coffee grinder, and process until ground to measure 1/2 cup flaxseed meal; set flaxseed meal aside.
Drain chickpeas over a bowl, reserving liquid. Place chickpeas, garlic, and 1 tablespoon reserved liquid in blender; pulse 5 times or until coarsely chopped. Add flaxseed meal, parsley, and next 5 ingredients (parsley through red pepper); pulse just until mixture is combined. Divide chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Combine breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon flaxseed in a shallow dish. Dip patties in egg white; dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook 5 minutes on each side or until browned.
Line each pita half with a lettuce leaf; fill each pita half with 1 patty and about 3 tablespoons Mediterranean Chopped Salad. Top each with 1 tablespoon yogurt.
(Totals include Mediterranean Chopped Salad)
