BEET BURGER RECIPE

4 Tablespoons vegetable oil (or oil of choice)

1 medium yellow onion, diced

salt and freshly ground pepper

2 cups cook brown rice, cooled

1 cup beets, peeled and diced (about 1 large)

1 cup pecans (or nuts of choice)

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

2 large eggs

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of the oil. Add the onions with salt and pepper and sauté until slightly golden. Set aside to cool. In a food processor, add the brown rice, beets, nuts, raisins and granulated garlic. Pulse about 10 times until a nice course texture. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cooled onions and the eggs. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Shape into 4-6 patties.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add 2 teaspoons of oil. Gently add the patties to the pan and sear on each side until crisp and browned - approximately 10 minutes per side.

Serve on your favourite bun with your choice of toppings and some tzatziki or a garlic aioli.

These would make very nice appetizers when shaped into bite size mini burgers and served with a selection of sauces or dips.

Enjoy.
