Description

For some reason these pink burgers tasted better to me after they’d sat for a day in the refrigerator. So make them ahead for quick meals through the week and reheat in a medium oven or a frying pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown or white rice
  • 1 cup finely diced or grated roasted beets
  • .25 cup chopped fresh herbs, like a mixture of parsley and dill
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil, as needed

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the rice, beets and herbs in a large bowl.
  2. Purée the beans with the lemon juice and egg in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or with a fork. Scrape into the bowl with the rice and beets. Add the goat cheese, salt and pepper, and mix the ingredients together.
  3. Moisten your hands and form 6 patties.
  4. Working in batches, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil at a time in a heavy ovenproof skillet and brown the patties on one side for 2 minutes. Turn over onto the other side and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with or without buns, ketchup and the works.
