  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cup cooked beans - pink, kidney, navy,
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour (wholemeal or white)
  • 1 Tbs vegetable margarine
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 Tbs spike or seasoning salt
  • -----OPTIONAL-----
  • 1 cup cooked mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup bran
  • 1/2 cup cracked wheat
  • 1 small pepper, diced
  • 1 grated carrot
Methods/steps
  1. Mash beans. Add all ingredients and mix well.
  2. Heat greased -brush with vegetable oil or use cooking spray- grill or electric frypan on medium heat.
  3. Spoon about 2 heaping Tablespoons of mix onto grill or frypan for each burger and flatten with greased pancake turner.
  4. Turn several times rather than just once on each side like conventional burgers, they have a better texture that way.
Additional Tips

If you use all of the ingredients listed, your mix may come out a bit dry. You might want to add a¼ to ½ 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.

You can grease a 13"x9" glass baking pan and bake at 350° F for 30 minutes. Just spread mix in pan and cook uncovered. Use a pancake turner to cut and remove cooked 'burger'.
