Title: Vlf Burgers
Categories: Digest August
Yield: 1 Servings

1 1/2	c	Short grain brown rice
		(measure uncooked)
1/2	c	Onion (finely diced)
2/3	c	Carrot (minced or grated)
1/2	ts	Dry basil
1/2	ts	Dry thyme
1/2	ts	Black pepper (coarse grind)
1/4	c	Tamari

Cook the rice so that it comes out a bit dry (if it is very sticky and damp let it dry some by spreading it on a tray for a while.) After the rice cools, add all other ingredients, mix well, and sort of knead the mixture a bit until it feels a bit sticky. Form into patties about 4 inches round and about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick (don't make them to thin). Place on a nonstick baking sheet, and put into a preheated 450 degree oven. Let cook for about 25 minutes, flip and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. If the mixture was too wet the burgers will kind of flow and get thin. When you are making the patties you will probably think that this can't be done. My family loves these with onion tomato and coarse mustard. Thanks to a kind person at the local Wellspring Grocery and Deli who was kind enough to share a recipe with their customers.
