     1/4  cup           onion -- minced
     1/4  cup           tahini
   2      tablespoons   mustard
   2      tablespoons   tamari
   2      tablespoons   parsley
   1      teaspoon      thyme
   1      teaspoon      cumin
     1/8  teaspoon      cayenne pepper
   2      cloves        garlic -- crushed
                        salt and pepper
                        oil
 

Preparation:

1. Cook the soybeans, black beans, and black-eyed peas until done. This will take about 3 hours of boiling or 1 hour if soaked overnight. Drain. Let cool. 2. Mash up the cooked beans and add the rice, salted black beans, eggs, onion, tahini, mustard, tamari, and all the spices. Mix thoroughly, then mix in the flour. Adjust the seasoning. (This mixture may be stored several days in the refrigerator. It also may be frozen). 3. To cook the beanburger, heat about 30 ml oil in a pan. Place about 1/3 cup of the bean mix in the oil and flatten with a spatula. (Hm. Doesn't sound like you can make patties from it. Perhaps you'd better put some foil on the grill). Cook on both sides until well browned. A little tamari dropped on the burger while it is cooking adds to the flavor. 4. Serve in pita bread. Garnish with your choice of tomato slices, onions, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup. (I opt for OVO-LACTO and ask for cheese melted on top). Difficulty : easy. Precision : measure ingredie
