( from “Veggie Burgers Every Which
Way,” by Lukas Volger)
Ingredients:
1 onion
2 T olive
oil
1 head
garlic
1 can
cannellini beans
1 egg
½ C Kalamata
olives, chopped
Lemon juice
½ C bread
crumbs
Pepper to
taste
Method:
Slice the
onions in rings and sauté in a bit of oil. This could take up to 30 minutes.
Make sure they are golden, soft, perfectly browned.
Separate the
cloves of garlic and remove most of the papery skins. Leave one layer of skin
on. Massage the cloves in olive oil and roast them at 300 degrees for about 20
– 30 minutes. When the largest clove is easily pierced with a knife, they are
ready. They should slip right out of their skins.
In food
processor: ½ C beans, all the garlic, half the onions, the eggs, and the lemon
juice. Blend together until you have a nice paste. Mash the remaining beans
with a fork or potato masher. Mix everything together. Form 4 patties. Fry in
olive until brown on both sides. Transfer to a preheated oven (350 degrees) and
bake for about 10-15 minutes.
