Bean and Rice Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 c cooked brown rice
- 1 1/2 c cooked beans, pink, kidney,
- 1/2 c wheat flour (or white)
- 1 tb margarine or butter
- 1 md onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, mashed
- 1 tb spike or seasoning salt
- 1 c cooked mashed potatoes
- 1/2 c cornmeal
- 1/2 c bran
- 1/2 c cracked wheat
- 1 sm pepper, diced
- 1 grated carrot
Instructions
Yield: 4 servings. Heat greased grill or electric frypan on med heat. Mash beans. Add all ingredients and mix well. (If you use all of the ingredients listed your mix may be a bit dry. You might want to add a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of soy, nut, or rice milk. Of coarse you also could use whole milk. Be sure you don't thin it too much or it will be mushy. Look for a 'hamburger' consistency.) Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of mixture onto grill or frypan for each burger and flatten with greased pancake turner. Turn several times rather than just once on each side like conventional burgers, they have a better texture that way. Variation: Instead of frying, grease a 13"x9" glass baking pan and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
