Amount Measure Ingredient, Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 small zucchini, trimmed and diced
1 packed cup diced shiitake mushrooms, (about 3 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped green onions, green parts only
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup plain cooked brown rice
1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence, (or oregano)
1 egg, beaten
Vidalia onion relish, (recipe follows)
2 hoagie or submarine rolls, split, optional


Vidalia Onion Relish:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Dash nutmeg


Place zucchini, mushrooms, and onions together on cutting board and mince very fine (don't use food processor or mixture will be wet).

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large, non-stick skillet. Saute vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove vegetables to bowl. Stir in brown rice, soy sauce, pepper, herbs, and egg.

Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in skillet. Drop rice mixture as 6 small burgers into skillet. Gently press down with spatula and fry until nicely browned on bottom, about 5 minutes. Gently turn over and fry top side another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, to prepare Vidalia Onion Relish, heat oil in medium non-stick skillet. Add onion and saute over low heat until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Serve warm.

Makes 1 cup.

To serve, place 3 burgers on each bottom half of rolls. Top with half relish and close, or serve burgers plain with relish. Serve hot.
