Ingredients

  • 5 cups wild rice, cooked – see notes
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely diced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 cup panko (breadcrumbs)
  • 4 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional, to taste, for heat)
  • oil for the pan

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Using a 1-cup measuring cup, scoop up rice mixture and form into patties. If the mixture is too wet, just add another 1/2 cup of panko or pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to help it stick together.

  3. 3

    Heat a little bit of oil over medium high heat. Add the patties and pan fry until nicely browned on both sides.

  4. 4

    Top with slices of Muenster cheese. Serve on a bun (or not!) with barbecue sauce, hot sauce, magic green sauce, ALL THE SAUCE. Also arugula, avocado, and beyond. You’ve only just begun.
