Beet Burgers

My Mom created these patties after eating the veggie burger at Rutherford Grill in the Napa Valley. If you're afraid that you won't like them because of the beets, think again. You can't taste them!!! They just give the burger an amazing red color!


Ingredients:

2 Beats – Grated

1 Cup brown rice

1 Cup raw rolled oats

¼ Cup dried minced onions

½ -1 Cup finely chopped walnuts

Salt

Braggs Liquid Aminos

BBQ Sauce


Add grated beats to rice and cook according to package instructions (2 cups of water for every cup of rice).


Soak oats in HOT water – enough to cover oats

Add minced onions


Once rice is cooked, add chopped walnuts to oat mixture.


Add rice/beats to oats. Mix.


Flavor with Braggs Liquid Aminos (appox 2 table spoons) and BBQ Sauce (approx ¼ cup) Add salt if needed.

Form in to patty shapes and fry in skillet with olive oil.


*Note: If the mixture is too loose and not holding a patty shape add a few sprinkles of flower till it reached the right texture.


Rice and beats cooking together.


Oats and onions soaking - before adding the walnuts.


The mixture ready to fry.


Patties frying int the pan.

I really do want to try these. I'm always craving me a hamburger...even in the veggie variety.
