What You’ll Need:
1 c dry rice
1 large onion, peeled & cut into chunks
1 1/2 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c gluten free rolled oats
1/2 (5-7oz) jar pesto*
2 eggs
OPTIONAL: 1 tsp crushed red pepper
Desired fixings: Think…pickles, spinach, lettuce, sprouts, salsa, tomato, onion, mustard, avocado, cheese, a bun or wrap…whatever your heart desires!
Cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop in lightly salted water, according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender. Puree.
Add cooked rice to food processor/blender. Pulse to mix—you’ll want the rice still have texture, so don’t puree!
Heat griddle or large skillet to medium high heat.
Using a 1/2 c size measuring cup, scoop mixture directly from the blender/processor and form into patties with your hands. Transfer patties directly onto hot griddle. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes.
Serve burgers with desired fixings and be so happy!
