VEGGIE BURGERS

These delicious hot sandwiches have a very meaty taste, even though there's no meat in them!

Ingredients:

15 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. ketchup
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend until coarsely chopped. Do NOT puree. Chill mixture, then shape into 4 1/2 inch thick patties. Wrap and freeze.

To cook, remove from freezer and thaw patties in microwave or place overnight in the refrigerator, then broil 4-6 inch away from heat for 10-12 minutes or until patties are thoroughly cooked. Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard. Makes 4 burgers.

AVOCADO SALMON SANDWICH

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado
1 lemon, juiced
6 hamburger buns, split
15 oz. canned salmon
6 slices Swiss cheese
sesame seeds

Procedure:

Preheat broiler to about 475F°. Peel and slice avocado and sprinkle with part of the lemon juice. Divide avocado slices evenly over the bottoms of the hamburger buns. Drain salmon and break into chunks. Divide evenly over avocado slices and sprinkle with remaining lemon juice. Top with second halves of the buns, then with cheese slices. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Broil about 8 inches from heat until cheese melts and the sandwiches are heated through. Garnish with dill pickles.

FILET OF FISH WITH A TARTAR SAUCE

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. sweet relish
1 tsp. minced onion
pinch of salt
1 sliced hamburger buns
1 breaded fish portion (frozen squares)
1 sliced American cheese

Procedure:

In a small bowl, make tartar sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, relish, minced onion and salt. Lightly pan fry the faces of the buns. Fry the breaded fish in peanut or canola oil or bake it according to the package instructions. Spread on tartar sauce evenly on the top bun. Place one slice of cheese on bottom bun. Place the HOT cooked fish on top of the cheese and cover with the tartar sauce bun. Cheese will melt while the fish cools enough to eat.
