White Bean and Artichoke Burger

.
According to MeatlessMonday.com Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. 

 Going Meatless does not mean tasteless!  These bean and artichoke burgers are sure to please your entire family and left overs make great sandwiches for lunch the next day.

Ingredients
1 6.5 oz. jar of Cara Mia Marinated Artichokes drained
1 medium onion
2 cans white beans drained
1 egg beaten
1 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp sun dried tomatoes
salt and pepper
6 multigrain buns
STAR Original Olive oil

Garnishes for burger

Directions
Cut a medium onion into chunks and put it in a food processor, along with beans, Cara Mia Artichokes, rolled oats, egg sun dried tomatoes and salt and pepper.

Pulse, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides as necessary.  If it's too dry, add water; too wet, add more rolled oats.

Take a frying pan and coat the bottom with a little STAR Original Olive Oil. When the oil is heated, spoon the mixture into the pan making burger size patties. Cook them until nicely browned each side. Be careful when turning as they tend to fall apart easily.

Serve on a multigrain bun with whatever condiments and garnishes you like.

About Me

Cara Mia
Cara Mia brand was started by an artichoke grower co-op in 1955, in the “artichoke capital” of the world, Castroville, CA. The co-op opened as a freezer operator with the intent of providing consumers another means to enjoy the edible thistle all year around. The venture proved so successful that a marinating line was added in 1958. Soon sales of the marinated produce far surpassed the frozen line as consumers enjoyed the proprietary marinade that dressed the tender leaves. The Borges Group acquired Cara Mia and its proprietary spice mix/marinade recipe in 2001. Today Cara Mia is the #1 selling brand of marinated artichokes. Look for them, and the other Cara Mia marinated vegetable items, in the Produce Dept.
