Memorial Day Weekend All-Star Veggie Burger Recipe
All-Star Veggie Burger
Use soy. No, use beans. No, use oats. No, use rice. Hey, why not use them all? This veggie burger is an alternative to eating its beefy cousin (and can be used together). It’s high in fiber and as a stand alone patty, actually tastes pretty good. Once you layer the ketchup, the mustard, pickles, etc. you won’t be able to tell the difference.

Here’s What You Need
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dried sage
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the mashed garbanzo beans and basil.
- Mix in the oat bran, quick oats, and rice; the mixture should seem a little dry.
- In a separate bowl, mash the tofu with your hands, trying to squeeze out as much of the water as possible.
- Drain of the water, and repeat the process until there is hardly any water worth pouring off.
- It is not necessary to remove all of the water.
- Pour the barbeque sauce over the tofu, and stir to coat.
- Stir the tofu into the garbanzo beans and oats.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sage; mix until well blended.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
