Combine cooked beans and cooked rice into processor using the same blade and process until mixture has a chunky paste like consistency. Place bean and herb mixture with the wheat flour into processor together and blend OR place the mixtures and flour into a large bowl and blend with a wooden spoon. Next heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of margarine in a frying pan over med heat. Using a tbsp or wooden spoon place a portion slightly smaller than a tennis ball into the frying pan. Tapping mixture should help it spread. WARNING: mixture is very super gooey. Check the under side of patties after about 2 minutes. Cook until brown then flip over.
