[Guest guest]

Here's another burger recipe from Vegetarian Planet. If you like to make

this kind of thing, she has ten recipes for them. Also, there is a

cookbook that is devoted to burgers titled Vegetarian Burgers by Bharti

Kirchner. I have some of her recipes someplace in Mastercook format in

case anyone is interested.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup minced onion

2 tart apples -- grated

(such as Granny Smith or Macoun)

8 slices stale or toasted sandwich bread

1 large green bell pepper -- seeded and chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

2 cups cooked white or brown rice

6 tablespoons rolled oats

ground in a blender or food processor

1/2 teaspoon salt -- or more to taste

fresh-ground black pepper -- to taste

1 tablespoon canola or corn oil -- or more as needed

 

Makes 4 burgers

 

You are probably thinking, " A fruit burger? Dessert for dinner? " But before

you turn the page in disgust, hear me out. With the green pepper and

onion, the tart apples provide crunch and create a good balance of sweet

and savory flavors. Because you need cooked rice for these burgers, they

are a good way to use up the leftover rice from last night's Chinese

take-out. And you can make these burgers without a food processor.

 

Eat the burgers naked (without buns, that is), maybe with Hot-and-Sour Slaw

(see separate recipe) on the side.

 

1. Put the onion into a large bowl. Squeeze the grated apples lightly to

remove excess juice, then add them to the bowl. Chop the bread very fine,

or break it into pieces and whirl it to crumbs in a food processor. Add

the bread crumbs, bell pepper, ginger, cooked rice, and half of the ground

oats to the apples and onion, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.

 

2. Form four patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place a large skillet over

medium heat, and add the oil. Coat the patties with the remaining ground

oats, then cook them for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they brown

slightly. Add a little more oil to the pan if you need to cook a second

batch. Serve the burgers with hot sauce, slaw, or both.
