Garden-Fresh Burgers

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 12 Min

If you've never had a really good veggie burger, you're missing out! Not only are they good for you, they're really full-flavored, and just as filling as traditional ground-beef burgers!

What You'll Need

3/4 cup plain bread crumbs, divided
3 cups cooked brown rice (see Notes)
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 small onion, grated
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons duck sauce

What to Do

Coat a microwave-safe 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the rice, carrot, onion, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic, soy sauce, eggs, thyme, and remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs; mix well. Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties. Coat the atties with the reserved bread crumbs and place in the baking dish.
Brush each patty with vegetable oil. Microwave at 80% power for 6 minutes, or until set and heated through. Top each burger with duck sauce and serve.
