Vegetarian Sausage Patties

Vegetarian Sausage Patties

Ingredients-

1 sm. onion, minced
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
3 cloves minced garlic
2 c. cold cooked rice
1 c. cooked kidney beans
1/4 c. eggs
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. dried cilantro
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs

Directions-

In a large nonstick frying pan, saute the onions in 1
tablespoons of the oil until clear. Add the cheese and
garlic. Saute until garlic is clear.

In a large bowl combine rice, beans, eggs, thyme,

oregano, cilantro and sage. Stir in the onion mixture.
Transfer to food processor. Process until mixture is a solid
mass, but NOT pureed. Just a few seconds. Divide into 8
parts. Form each part into a sausage pattie shape. Push in the
bread crumbs.

Coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Set the patties
on the sheet and brush with remaining oil. Broil until
mottled brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
