This member is no longer an active participant at Zaar, but I was a huge fan of her recipes, so when they went up for adoption I grabbed as many as I could. Here are her original comments: A tasty vegetarian burger. Fairly mild - increase spices to your taste. Adapted from 'The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites. ' .
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked black beans (or canned)
2 cups cooked brown rice, preferably warm
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons chili powder, more, to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, more, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Mash with a potato masher until mashed well and thoroughly combined.
3. Divide mixture into 8 balls.
4. Form each ball into a thick patty.
5. (This is easier if you wet your hands first.) Fry burgers in a skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (or lightly greased).
6. Cook until browned on both sides, turning several times.
7. Serve on buns with toppings of your choice.
