Ingredients:
2 cupBrown rice
2 1/2 cupRolled oats
12 ozOrdinary white mushrooms
X Large handful of dried
Shiitake mushrooms
3 medOnions
2 Bay leaves
1 tbspSage
1 tbspBasil
1 tbspThyme
3 tbspCornstarch + just enough
Water to make a smooth
Paste
3 tbspDark soy sauce
Procedures:
1Cook brown rice as you would normally cook brown rice, and allow to cool.
2Simmer onions and herbs in water until onions are soft.
3Remove bay leaves.
4Save any broth.
5Soak shiitake mushrooms in water until they soften.
6Simmer *all* mushrooms in mushroom water until the fresh mushrooms are cooked through.
7Save mushroom sweat.
8In a food processor, process ?of the rice, 2 c. of the oats, and all of the other ingredients until there are no big chunks.
9You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your food processor.
10Use mushroom water and onion liquid to keep the food processor happy.
11In a large bowl, mix the processed gloop with remaining rice and oats.
12It should be thick enough to form into cohesive patties, but not dry.
13Add a few extra oats if it"s too wet, or some liquid if your hands don"t get a little sticky when handling it.
14Fry in a light spray of pam, over low heat, until both sides of the patty are brown and crunchy.
15About 10 min. using a larger amount of mushrooms makes it taste even better, but then the batter becomes more like thick pancake batter.
16Still yummy though.
