had some of these for dinner last night, it is very similair to falafel (my kitchen sure smelled like falafels cooking!)
1 12 oz can of black beans, drained
1-2 cups cooked rice
1/2 of a portobella mushroom
1 large stalk of celery
1 carrot
1/2 of a medium onion
1/2 cup of fresh corn
bread crumbs
parsley
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder (fresh makes it a little too pungent, IMO)
salt and pepper to taste
in a food processor, grind up the rice, mushroom, celery, carrot, onion, corn and spices until it is blended and uniform, but not gooey ( i mean dont blend it too long!). take the rice mixture out of the processor and put the beans in, blend the beans until they are smooth. combine the rice mixture and the blended beans, then add chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and bread crumbs until the mixture is solid enough to make into patties. fry the patties in a pan on medium heat until they are browned on the outside, yum! i had mine in a whole wheat pita with lettuce, tomato, avocaco
, and cucumber, but these burgers are also good in a bun with kechup and mayo like a regular burger. garbanzo beans can be substituted for black beans, and then it is really a falafel burger!
