-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups cooked brown rice -- or white rice
1 cup finely diced roasted beets -- or grated
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs -- like a mixture of parsley and dill
1 can white beans -- (15 ounce) (1 can) drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 egg
2 ounces goat cheese -- crumbled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil -- or canola oil, as needed
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the rice, beets and herbs in a
large bowl.
2. Purée the beans with the lemon juice and egg in a food processor fitted
with the steel blade or with a fork. Scrape into the bowl with the rice
and beets. Add the goat cheese, salt and pepper, and mix the ingredients
together.
3. Moisten your hands and form 6 patties.
4. Working in batches, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil at a time in a heavy
ovenproof skillet and brown the patties on one side for 2 minutes. Turn
over onto the other side and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with
or without buns, ketchup and the works.
Yield: 6 burgers.
Advance preparation: You can make these up to 3 days ahead, either through
Step 3 or 4, and keep in the refrigerator. They can also be cooked ahead
and reheated in a low oven or in a pan on top of the stove.

For some reason these pink burgers tasted better to me after they'd sat
for a day in the refrigerator. So make them ahead for quick meals through
the week and reheat in a medium oven or a frying pan.
