Meatless Burger Recipe

Linda’s comment: Connie Maginnis out did herself with this meatless burger. I tried this recipe and it is yummmmy. By using organic products you have a better chance of getting NON-GMO. My girlfriend made this for her children and they loved it….she didn’t tell them that it was made with beans…<smile> Give it a try….I cooked it on the grill.
This recipe comes from Connie Maginnis, who writes, “When we go to cookouts with people on the Standard American Diet, we bring these Black Bean Burgers to grill. Their acceptance is amazing and I have to bring enough for everyone because all the other people want ours!”
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (organic)
1 small organic onion (coarsely chopped)
1 medium red pepper (chopped)
4 medium cloves of organic garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon organic cumin
1/4 teaspoon organic turmeric
1 1/2 cups cooked or canned organic black beans (drained)
1 cup cooked brown basmati rice
2 cups fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (substitute gluten free bread crumbs)
Hot pepper sauce to taste (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, and garlic. Cook while stirring frequently until soft and onions are translucent. Stir in cumin, turmeric, and cook for an additional minute. In a food processor, combine beans, rice and onion/pepper/garlic mixture. Transfer to a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs and mix well. Season with salt and hot pepper if desired. Flatten 1/4 cup amounts of mix into patties and they are ready for the outdoor grill. Cook about 3-5 minutes each side. Makes 8 burgers.
