Grain & Garden Burger

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 Cups Cooked Brown Rice
• 1 Cup Grated Carrots
• 1/4 Cup Wheat Germ
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic
• 1/2 Onion, Grated
• 1 Teaspoon Seasoned Salt
• 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 Egg Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacers
• 1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
• 1/2 Cup Coarsely Chopped Baby Spinach leaves
• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Thyme or 1 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme

Directions

I specify to use Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer because it works best. I have tried other egg replacers with this recipe and the recipe comes out gummy and sticks to the pan if you use any other.

Mix ingredients in a mixing bowl. Measure out 1/3 cup for each patty. With oiled hands form into an almost 4 inch patty. Cook 3 at a time, in a covered nonstick skillet with a spritz of cooking spray each time you place more in the skillet. You also want to drop a few drops of water around the patties before putting the lid on the skillet. We want to steam cook them in the skillet. Cook each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown and done on the inside. Let patties stand for 5 minutes before eating.

Make these in advance and freeze. Zap in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, for a quick and easy lunch.
