Nutty rice burgers

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Boiling water
1 cup Bulgur
¼ cup Vegetable stock
½ cup Onions, finely chopped
½ cup Carrots, shredded
½ cup Zucchini, shredded
1 teaspoon Thyme
3 cups Brown rice, cooked
½ cup Liquid egg substitute
½ cup Wholewheat flour
¼ cup Walnuts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Rosemary
½ teaspoon Black pepper
1 tablespoon Oil

Directions

Combine boiling water & the bulgur. Cover & set aside until bulgur is soft, about 20 minutes. Drain well, pressing to remove as much moisture as possible. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat broth. Add the prepared vegetables plus the thyme & cook until the vegetables are tender & the liquid has evaporated. This should take about 5 minutes. Add to the waiting bulgur.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients with the exception of the oil.

Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Shape into 6 patties, adding more flour if necessary to hold them together.

Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat & saute prepared patties until golden on both sides.

Serve in wholewheat pita breads with slices of tomato & onion.
