Barbecued Bean Burgers Deluxe Recipe

• 1/3 c. wheat berries
• 3 c. water
• 1 Tbsp. extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
• 1 med onion, diced
• 10 x stems fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 c. cooked red kidney beans or possibly 1 15 ounce can, liquid removed
• 2 Tbsp. tomato-based barbecue sauce
• 1 tsp dry thyme
• 1 x egg
• 1/2 c. dry whole wheat bread crumbs, (to 3/4 c.) salt & black pepper
• 6 x hard rolls, halved
• 4 c. finely grated green cabbage
• 2 x carrots, finely grated
• 1/4 c. chopped onion
• 1 c. mayonnaise, fatfree or possibly vegan ok
• 3 Tbsp. yellow mustard salt & black pepper

1. Rinse the wheat berries under running water.
2. In a medium-size saucepan, combine the wheat berries and water.
3. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer till the wheat berries are tender, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hrs.
4. (You can reduce the cooking time to 50 to 60 min by soaking the wheat berries overnight before cooking.)
5. Drain off any excess water.
6. Meanwhile, make the slaw by combining the cabbage, carrots, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, and salt & pepper to taste.
7. Set aside.
8. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet.
9. Add in the onion and cook, stirring, till soft and golden brown, about 5 min.
10. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the onion and parsley and process till finely chipped.
11. Add in the beans, barbecue sauce, thyme, and egg, and process till you have a fairly smooth mix.
12. Remove to a bowl.
13. Stir in the wheat berries, 1/2 c. of the bread crumbs, and salt & pepper to taste.
14. Continue to add in crumbs, as needed, to make the mix stiff sufficient to create into burgers.
15. With wet hands, form the mix into six-3-inch burgers.
16. Mist both sides with nonstick cooking spray.
17. Prepare a medium fire in the grill with a lightly oiled vegetable grill rack in place.
18. Grill the burgers till crisp, about 5 min per side.
19. Serve the burgers on rolls topped with the slaw.
20. Pass the extra slaw at the table.
