Instructions

Saute mushrooms and garlic with olive oil, carrots and raw sugar over medium-high heat until carrots soften, mushrooms lose their moisture and onions begin to caramelize. Add minced garlic and stir while cooking for another couple of minutes. Add brown rice, water, white wine and soy sauce. Cover with a lid and cook until the brown rice has absorbed all of the water. Then, let mixture cool. Transfer rice and mushroom mixture into a food processor. Add organic eggs, tofu, miso paste, Italian breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are smooth. Form mixture into patties. Refrigerate patties until they become firm. Cook patties over medium-high meat with olive oil until golden and cooked to desired consistency.
