Vegetarian Recipes: Vegetarian Burger Patties

Vegetarian Burger Patties

1 cup cottage cheese (or use soft to medium tofu)
1 cup pecan meal
1 medium onion chopped
1/2 cup "quick" cooking oatmeal
2 eggs (or egg replacer)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry basil
Garlic to taste
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I use Pepperidge Farm Stuffing)

Combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt and basil. Mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients. The mixture will be a bit wet. You don't want it too dry. It will dry as it bakes because of the breadcrumbs, etc. "Wet" hands and form into patties or shape into meatballs. Fry or bake in the oven. If baking meatballs, put them in the pan touching each other slightly.
