1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup onion -- diced

1 tablespoon garlic -- minced

1 jalapeno -- seeded & minced

1 15 oz. can garbanzo beans -- rinsed & drained

1 cup cooked long-grain rice -- (basmati is good)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 3/4 cups bread crumbs*

condiments

Tahini Mustard -- (recipe follows) optional

 

Heat olive oil in a small skillet until sizzling. Cook onion and garlic

until onion is wilted and garlic is golden. Add jalapeno and stir well. Cool.

Place cooled onion mixture, garbanzo beans, and rice in a food processor. Pulse

on and off several times until the mixture becomes a smooth puree. Transfer to

a large bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 cup of bread crumbs. Season to taste

with salt, pepper,a nd red pepper or hot sauce.

Mix with your oiled hands to combine. Shape into 3-inch patties about

1/2-inch thick, adding extra bread crumbs if patties don't hold their shape.

They will be slightly sticky.

Prepare a grill or preheat broiler. To grill, place the patties on a

fine-meshed grid and grill about 5 inches from heat for 4-6 minutes per side

until lightly browned. When one side is done, turn the patties carefully with a

spatula and cook other side. To broil, place patties on a broiler pan or large

cookie sheet lined with lightly-oiled foil and broil 3-5 inches from heat about

4-6 minutes.

To serve, place patties into warmed pita pockets, hamburger buns, or

toasted sandwich buns along with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, onion,

sprouts, etc., and Tahini Mustard (recipe follows) if desired.
