Brown rice bean patties

Brown rice bean patties

This is a great vegetarian option. My dad's a vegetarian and I remember how my parents would make great vegetable patties so hopefully this recipe will measure up to theirs. 

Cook 2 cups of brown rice.

Heat a tin of mixed beans (red). Put the heated beans in a tall container and mix with a hand held electric mixer until pureéd.

Mix the brown rice with the bean puree, add 1 teaspoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of paprika and mix with with a spoon. 

Cover the palms of your hands with olive oil, take a large ball of mixture (smaller than a tennis ball size but larger than a golf ball size), place on an oiled sheet of baking paper and press flat until it is approximately 1.5cm thick. 

Repeat process until all patties have been made (makes roughly 7 patties).

Put under the grill on high for 15 minutes.

Serve with whole egg mayonnaise, red peppers (capsicum) and lime wedges.
