Veggie Burgers for 50

This makes about 48 vegetarian burgers and they freeze well!

7 cups dried Soya beans
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
4 cups diced yellow onions
4 tablespoon olive oil
7 cups long-grain brown rice
6 cups sunflower seeds
1 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
2 tablespoon Soya sauce
2 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
8 large or 10 medium eggs, beaten

Wax paper cut into 6 inch squares
Vegetable oil for frying
Whole wheat buns
Mayonnaise
Lettuce, tomatoes and sprouts

Place soy beans into a large stock pot with 28 cups of cold water. (Soy Beans will expand considerably). Bring water to a boil, simmer for 2-3 hours or until beans are soft. Drain well, set aside.

Heat olive oil, sauté garlic and onions over medium heat until translucent. Meanwhile prepare brown rice. Wash rice in several changes of water, drain thoroughly. Combine rice with 14 cups of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 30-40 minutes or until rice is medium soft...you do not want the rice overcooked.

In a 350 degrees oven toast the sunflower seeds lightly, turning often so seeds brown evenly and do not burn.

Using a food grinder or food processor, grind Soya beans in several batches if necessary.

Place in a large bowl and combine with the cooked rice, onions, garlic and sunflower seeds. Add seasoning and crumbs mixing well, then add beaten eggs combining well.

Form mixture into 5 oz. portions (roughly the size of a tennis ball). Place on waxed paper sheets and set on a baking tray. Refrigerate patty portions for 15 minutes Placing a waxed paper square over each patty portion, press into burgers of half inch thickness. (We use two wooden burger presses) Chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hr.) between waxed paper sheets.

Fry burgers in vegetable oil over medium heat until patties are nicely Browned on both sides. Turn patties once only, as they will break apart with too much handling.

For a cheese veggie burger, top with grated cheddar and place under broiler until cheese melts. To serve, spread buns with mayo, add torn or shredded lettuce, tomato slices and sprouts.
