Veggie Patties
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1c. cooked rice1c. black beans, cooked1 onion1/2 a bell pepper2 cloves garlic2 slices bread, toasted and crumbed1 med egg(more specific, by gram in nutri-tracker)Ingredients: Egg, fresh, 1.04 largeGarlic, 2 clovesOnions, raw, 1.04 medium (2-1/2" dia) Green Peppers (bell peppers), 0.24 cup, stripsBeans, black, 1.04 cupBread, whole wheat (including toast), 2 sliceBrown Rice, long grain, 1.04 cup
Measurements for rice and beans are AFTER cooking. Put rice and beans in a large bowl to cool.
SAUTEE onion in black iron skillet or non-stick skillet with garlic-- preferably minced, but I don't have a mincer. Throw in the bell peppers (I skimp on these as it becomes a dominating flavor. More or less onions or garlic don't change the caloric cost either.
TOAST the bread. Run through a food processor. According to your preferences you can run EVERYTHING through a food processor.
COMBINE all ingredients (introduce the egg) in a large bowl. I mix with my hands so be sure to set out plastic wrap on a cookie sheet first. Dole out mixture into eight lumps; flatten. Freezes indefinitely.
I think that freezing first and then coating in flour helps it stay a pattie rather than scrambling. Place in heated skillet and wait THREE WHOLE MINUTES at least on medium heat before flipping. Searing the outside adds to appearance, but you couldn't fool anyone into thinking it was meat.
If you actually dress it as a burger, it tastes rather like one. You can make links and use sausage spices with the same recipe or serve as a sirloin burger with FF Brown Gravy.
The best part of this for me, since I'm a college student, is making about 80 patties for the freezer before the semester starts for later convenience and less than ten dollars! Meat's expensive and adds cholesterol/fats that this doesn't. I'm not a vegetarian, though.
