BLACK BEAN BURGERS
8 oz baby bella (1/2 chopped 1/2 blendered)
1 small red onion (or 1/2 med or large)
1/2 bell pepper (or small pepper or large hot pepper like poblano/anaheim omit hot sauce)
2 cloves garlic
1 sm. med. carrot
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1-2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
dash soy sauce and or salt
dash pepper
dash hot sauce
1 tsp worcestershire
1/2 cup plus 1/4 breadcrumbs
1. Throw onion, carrot, bell pepper, garlic in food processor or blender, blend till small chunks. Remove and do the same to 1/2 of the mushrooms, chop the rest. Heat some oil, cook mushrooms, onion, pepper,carrot and garlic 4-5 minutes, till water mostly evaporates and things look like a delicious burger mush. Add everything else except the breadcrumbs and stir like a madwoman.
2. Add beans, mashing constantly and cook down for quite a while, till far less watery and a good paste like consistency. This will take about 5 more minutes or so.
3. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Add 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs and then use a spatula (or whatever) to cut the mass of beantastic goodness first in half, then in fourths and finally cut these pieces into eighths. Form them into 8 thin patties which will be sure to cook adequately and dust with the remaining breadcrumbs.

Lean, green edamame "burgers"
1 c. edamame
Stir fried rice:
1 c (maybe a bit less depending on veggies) cooked brown minute rice (or day old brown rice)
1 poblano, minced
1 sm/med carrot, minced
2-3 garlic, minced
1 inch cube of ginger (opt)
dash fish sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
dash sesame oil
4-5 green onions, minced
1 c. panko bread crumbs
1 egg
Just 1/2 cup plus 1/2 cup of the rice and edamame and panko made about 6-8 thin burgers (I think, I may have ended up using the full cup)
Prepare rice and let cool in the freezer for a while as you chop your veg and start stir frying them. Heat up a wok on medium, add 1 TB of oil, let it heat up for a few minutes, then add veggies till softened (2-4 minutes) finally add the rice and stir, adding all the remaining oils and juices and stirring till well combined. Heat for about 3 more minutes, continuing to stir. Add green onions last and let this cool before adding to cooked edamame in a blender and mixing well. Stir this together with the panko and an egg, mixing well.
Shape into thin patties and either saute for about 2 minutes on high medium or bake in a 350 oven until they get crispy and browned on the outside (ummm 10 minutes maybe?)
