These are great veggie burgers and make a great meal prep meal. You can also skip the lettuce wraps and go for some buns or add any of your typical burger toppings. I personally love adding avocado and tomato slices to mine. Some nice grilled corn also make a great side.

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked basmati rice (⅔ cup uncooked)
½ cup finely chopped carrot
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
¼ tsp curry powder
¼ tsp ground cumin

¼ cup vegenaise
2 Tbs roasted red pepper
1½ tsp fresh parsley
