Sweet, tart, and slightly crunchy, these apple burgers might sound weird, but they definitely taste good.
Yield 4-6 burgers
Time 15 minutes
* 2 tart apples, grated
* 1 c onion, minced
* 2 c bread crumbs
* 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
* 1 T fresh ginger, minced
* 2 c brown or white rice, cooked (leftover is fine)
* 6 T rolled oats, ground
* ½ t salt
* black pepper
* 1-2 T vegetable oil
Squeeze some of the juice out of the apples, then place in bowl with onions, bread crumbs, green pepper, ginger, rice, 3 T oats, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat the oil in the frying pan, over medium heat.
Shape mixture into patties, adding more bread crumbs if necessary. Coat with remaining 3 T of oats.
Fry in 1 T oil over medium heat until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
