veggie burgers

summer.... it's almost here... or is it? dear god, it better be.
i believe we made this veggie burger once a week all summer long last year. huge fan. lots of ingredients in this recipe, but it's worth it. they are freezable katie!
don't grill them because they'll fall apart. it's best to cook in a saute pan.
we serve with salsa on top and oven sweet potato fries on the side.
i can smell my patio.

veggie burgers

2 tbl olive oil
1/4 c diced red onion
2 diced jalepenos, deseeded
1/4 c diced red pepper
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 c diced artichokes
1 can black beans
1 can cannelini beans
1/2 c quaker oats
3 tbl bread crumbs
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp dried oregano
3 tbl chopped parsley
1/2 t red chili flakes
1/2 t cumin
1 egg

1. saute onion, red pepper, jalepeno, garlic and artichokes in 1 tbl olive oil until soft. (5-10 min)
2. combine sauted veggies with remainder ingredients. use your hands to "mush" together breaking up beans and creating a moist texture.
3. form patties and freeze for 20 minutes to better form patties.
4. saute in remainder olive oil until brown on each side.
