Categories: Burgers, Vegetarian
     Yield: 6 Burgers

     3 tb Sunflower oil
   1/2 c  Carrots (1 sm); diced
   1/2 c  Onion (1); diced
   1/2 c  Zucchini; diced
   1/2 c  Celery; chopped
     2 cl Garlic; minced
   1/2 ts Dried thyme
   1/2 ts Dried dill
     2 c  Cooked brown rice;
          - slightly mashed
   1/4 ts Salt
     1 ts Tamari
     1 tb Tahini
          Whole wheat flour
     6 sl Cheddar cheese (optional)
     6    Whole wheat rolls
          Lettuce or sprouts
     1 lg Tomato; sliced
          Tahini Dressing

 A great way to use leftover brown rice.

 Preheat 10" frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tb oil, then carrots,
 onions, zucchini, celery, garlic, thyme, and dill. Sauté, stirring
 occasionally until vegetables are tender.

 Add vegetables to cooked rice in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well, add
 salt, tamari, and tahini, and mix again. Form into patties, using
 approximately 1/2 cup mix per burger. Dip each patty into whole wheat
 flour so both sides are lightly coated.

 Preheat 10" frying pan over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tb oil, then
 burgers. When brown on one side (3 to 5 minutes), flip, adding a
 slice of cheese per burger if you like. Cover pan and cook until
 cheese is melted and burger browned. Serve on warmed whole wheat
 rolls with lettuce or sprouts, tomato slices, and Tahini Dressing on
 the side.
