Beet This Burger
(Serves 6)

This burger comes from Olinda Cho-Forsythe, a native of Guatemala and a full-blooded Mayan. She developed her burger recipe in the kitchens of the Gran Fraternidad Universal, an organization dedicated to world peace and to promoting a vegetarian diet through its centers and restaurants throughout Latin America. The unusual addition of 1 tablespoon of grated beets is just enough to give this burger a pleasant color.

1 tablespoon finely grated raw beet
1/2 cup cooked oats
1 cup uncooked oats
1/2 cup coarsely ground walnuts
1/4 cup coarsely ground almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
1/4 cup minced green pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon instant dry vegetable broth
tomato slices, for garnish

Mix all ingredients together well. Form into 6 patties and grill until cooked through. Serve on whole wheat rolls with tomato slices and your favorite condiments.
