Okay here is a copy/paste of what I just sent to Pam:
Liike most of my recipes, they are stream-of-consciousness but I’ll do my best on amounts.
Bean Burgers
Ingredients:
3 - 4 small red potatoes cut into wedges, skin still on
2 - 3 cups of cooked brown rice
1 can salt-free red kidney beans rinsed and drained
Steam red potato wedges until good and tender and mashable
in a large bowl combine cooked potatoes, rice and beans. I use a potato masher and mash up the ingredients together. Just like meat burgers, make patties from the blend. I use wax paper folded over the patties to mash and shape into burgers. Refrigerate for an hour or over night. I make as many as I can and freeze the extra patties. It’s wonderful to have them in the freezer for another time. I prefer not to season them until after cooking them if at all.
I grill the patties on my stove top but you’ll have a new grill to do this on. Beware that they can fall apart so a grill pan of some kind is advised.
Along with the burgers I grill sliced portobello mushrooms, thick slices of zucchini, onion and bell pepper. Rather than using a bun (which is just fine to do), I serve them on a bed of chopped spinach and arugula with sliced tomatoes and avocado. Dashes of good mustard is wonderful. I’ll be making this sometime this weekend also.
