VEGGIE BURGER DELUXE

Steps:

• Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the bulgur wheat in a small bowl and let it sit for about 1 hour it should bulk out to about double in size.
• Steam the mushrooms for 10 minutes or until tender.
• Separately steam the onions for about 10 minutes, or until translucent, do not combine with the mushrooms.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the oats and let them soak for about 10 minutes, until soft.
• Drain any excess water from the bulgur wheat and oats then combine them with the steamed mushrooms, rice, cheeses, and spices in a food processor and pulse quickly 4 or 5 times until ingredients are chopped fine, but not pureed.
• You want a coarse texture with some identifiable chunks of grain, mushroom, and cheese.
• Pour the mixture into a bowl with the steamed onion and cornstarch, and mix well.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and set a large skillet over medium/low heat.
• Spray the skillet with a light coating of olive oil cooking spray.
• Measure 1/2 cup at a time of the patty mixture into the pan and shape with a spoon into a patty.
• Cook the patties for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until light brown on the surface.
• Arrange the patties on a lightly sprayed baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven.
• Be sure to turn them over halfway through the cooking time.
• You can serve the patties immediately or freeze them once they have cooled Frozen patties can be reheated by cooking in a lightly sprayed pan over medium heat, or a grill over low flame.
• You can also microwave for 30 seconds per side, however the pan or grill is best.
