SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (540 mL) white or red kidney beans, rinsed & well-drained
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¼ cup cooked rice or quinoa, chilled overnight
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic or onion powder (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheese or non-dairy shreds
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or crushed corn flakes
PREPARATION
- In a large bowl, mash the first three ingredients with a fork or a potato masher.
- Stir in the seasonings and the cheese or non-dairy sheds.
- Place in fridge for 30 minutes to set.
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Grease the foil well with at least 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Place the breadcrumbs or crushed corn flakes in a bowl.
- Using a tablespoon, grab a heaping spoonful of the mixture, form into a patty then dip into the breadcrumbs. Push the patty into the breadcrumbs to create a thick crust.
- Place on the baking sheet. Note, the mixture will be sticky, but if it is wet, it will set in the oven.
- Repeat for the remaining 5 patties.
- Flip the patties so that the oily side is facing up before placing in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then turn the upper burner on broil for the last minutes to crisp the top.
- Let sit for a few minutes, then assemble your burger.
Serve warm.
