ISO gardenburger recipe

[sage]

Hi -
I was at a restaurant today and had a really good gardenburger - I think it had brown rice and mushrooms perhaps?

Anyone seen a recipe for something like this? I have a recipe for bean burgers that I like - but I'd like to try to find a recipe for this brown rice version of the "veggie burger", also.

Thanks,
S.Sage.

This is actually a fairly good recipe for a veggie burger that sounds quite a bit like what you're describing.

VEGETABLE BURGER

1/3 c. dry barley
4 c. water
dash of salt
1 (4 oz.) can mushrooms, undrained
1/2 of a 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach
1/2 of a 10 oz. package frozen chopped broccoli or 1 whole package of either
2 T dry minced parsley
2 T dry minced onion
2 T soy sauce
1/2 c. blender-minced celery
1/2 c. Instant Potato Buds
4 packets Instant Cream of Wheat

In saucepan cook barley, water and salt boiling gently for I hour covered. Add remaining ingredients stirring well and put through blender, briefly mincing without pureeing it. Spread in Pam-sprayed, oblong 9xl3 inch pan and seal in Saran Wrap. Refrigerate 24 hours or until firm enough to shape into patties Sear both sides in just a little oil until crispy brown and hot. Serve on hamburger buns with traditional fixings. They freeze well. Use within 4 months.
(Makes 8 patties)
