 * Toppings: tahini sauce and chopped vegetables such as tomatoes,
 cucumbers, radishes and sprouts. In a food processor or food mill, combine
 the chick peas and garlic. Process until smooth. Add egg and process to
 mix. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in parsley, onions, tahini,
 breadcrumbs, cumin, basil, marjoram, thyme, pepper and salt. Shape mixture
 into 8 patties each about 1/4 inch thick. In a large, heavy skillet, heat
 oil on medium-high heat; add patties and cook for 5 - 7 minutes per side or
 until golden brown. Or the mixture can be placed in an ovenproof dish and
 baked following Biotrain directions above. To serve, cut pitas in halves.
 Tuck a patty or dollop of the baked mixture into each pita "pocket." Pass
 bowls of topping to complete sandwiches as desired. Serves 4.
