  1. Pulse the chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin and salt in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
  2. Fold in the egg and flour, shape 4 compact patties and chill them for 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk the tahini and lemon juice until thick, then whisk in the cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until spoonable.
  4. Coat a heavy skillet with a thin film of oil and cook the patties over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side until crisp and firm.

  6. Spread lemon tahini sauce over each bun and assemble with romaine, tomato and one chickpea patty.
