Rice and Bean Burgers or Patties
I attempted these based on a recipe from a Martha Stewart recipe for a veggie burger, but I found them to be more like rice and bean fritters. I liked them small and served with salsa, could be a great appetizer, side dish or even vegetarian main course.

This looks amazing. Totally my kind of “burger.” Going to try this soon! I have all of the ingredients on hand! Love it!
made this tonite–served with yogurt on the side.made it with 2 cans of black beans and two cups of rice—totally inhaled……
I made these as a parve side dish leaving out the cheese and they were a huge hit! I served them with a lemon aioli and it was fantastic, but I can’t wait to make them with cheese. They’ll be amazing.
