What You’ll Need:

1 c dry rice

1 large onion, peeled & cut into chunks

1 1/2 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp garlic powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 c gluten free rolled oats

1/2 (5-7oz) jar pesto*

2 eggs

OPTIONAL: 1 tsp crushed red pepper

Desired fixings: Think…pickles, spinach, lettuce, sprouts, salsa, tomato, onion, mustard, avocado, cheese, a bun or wrap…whatever your heart desires!

Cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop in lightly salted water, according to package instructions.

Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender. Puree.

Add cooked rice to food processor/blender. Pulse to mix—you’ll want the rice still have texture, so don’t puree!

Heat griddle or large skillet to medium high heat.

Using a 1/2 c size measuring cup, scoop mixture directly from the blender/processor and form into patties with your hands. Transfer patties directly onto hot griddle. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes.

Serve burgers with desired fixings and be so happy!
