Recipe - Bean Burgers By Anita Cecena

One half cup Minced green onions.
1 One half tablespoon Minced garlic.
2 tablespoon White wine/stock
29 ounce Cooked drained pinto beans
Three fourths cup Cracker meal or bread crumbs
2 Egg whites
One half cup Chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoon Seasoned rice vinegar
One half teaspoon Italian seasonings (oregano,
basil, etc.)

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Saute onions/garlic in stock/white wine. Combine
with beans, cracker meal, egg whites, parsley, vinegar, seasonings. Mash
well with fork until blended, but not entirely smooth. (Here I depart from
recipe...I make up a bunch of hamburger sized patties, freeze some,
refridge some, and cook them as needed for about 20 minutes in a toaster
oven...I know they are done when the egg/bread crumbs are brown and the
patty is a bit dry. I find this basic recipe can absorb many, many
changes.I've used white beans, black beans, whatever, sauteed mushrooms,
hot sauce, catsup, etc. The main thing is to get a good
texture/cohesiveness in the final product, so it sticks together. Have
fun!)
