Apple Burgers

My husband found this recipe somewhere when we first went vegetarian (2 years ago) and we still love it.

I will say that the patties don't stay together very well. This last time I made it, I blended the onions in a little food processor and I think that because it was more blended, it helped. But still, most of the patties do fall apart. If any of you try the recipe and can find a way to keep the patties together, let me know!!!

Ingredients:

2 tart apples

1 Cup- onion (minced)

2 Cups- bread crumbs

1 Green Pepper (chopped)

1 Tsp Fresh ginger (minced)

2 Cups rice

6 Tsp rolled oats (ground up)

1/2 tsp salt

pepper

1-2 Tsp vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Grate apples and try to squeeze the juice out with a paper towel, place in a bowl with onions, bread crumbs, green pepper, ginger, rice, 3 Tsp oats, salt and pepper

2. Heat oil in pan (medium heat)

3. Shape the mixture into patties (add more bread crumbs if needed) and coat with the remaining 3 Tsp of oats

4. Fry

Note: I serve with veganaise, catsup and lettuce. My husband prefers BBQ sauce :) Both ways are yummy.
