Curried Veggie Burgers

Steps

1. Combine the rinsed beans in a large mixing bowl. Begin cooking the rice.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Toast the cashews in the dry pan until golden brown; process in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs form. Add to the mixing bowl.

3. Heat the oil in the skillet and add the onion and garlic. Saute for 10 minutes over low heat, until soft and fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until soft, adding more oil if necessary. Add the vegetables to the mixing bowl.

4. Mix in the spices with everything already in the mixing bowl. Add the cooked rice and stir to combine.

5. Transfer to a food processor or blender and process until a doughy consistency forms. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable broth if needed to keep the mixture moving. I like to keep some texture to the mixture.

6. Stir in the panko crumbs and form into patties. See notes for different ways to cook them!
