Re: Burgers!!!__________________________________________________________________

	Rumor has it that the beef industry is kidnaping vegetarians.  At least
that would explain why net.veg is so quiet lately...
	Where is everybody?  Isn't there *anybody* out there who will send me
burger recipes???

	I just found another recipe.  I haven't tried it, but it looks great.
It's from _Laurel's_Kitchen_, and I found it just in time, since asparagus is
just starting to appear in the supermarkets.
	I don't know if they qualify as burgers, but I guess I'll find out
after I make them.

>>> Asparagus Patties <<<
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Slice 1 POUND ASPARAGUS lengthwise and cut small.  Steam just until
tender.  Saute' 2 OR 3 GREEN ONIONS (chopped) in 2 T. OIL until soft.  Add
2 T. CHOPPED PARSLEY OR CORIANDER LEAVES; stir to wilt.
	Combine 1/4 C. TOASTED ALMOND MEAL, 1/2 C. BREAD CRUMBS, 1/2 t. SALT
and 1/4 C. COOKED BULGAR WHEAT OR RICE.  Separate 2 EGGS and beat the egg
yolks.  Stir in the beaten egg yolks.  Add the steamed asparagus, making sure
that it's cooled a bit so it doesn't cook the eggs.  Stir in the onions and
herbs and 1 t. BASIL.  Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the
asparagus mixture.
	Heat up a non-sticking frying pan (I like to use a well-seasoned cast
iron pan, myself).  Drop batter by spoonfuls and spread to form patties.  Brown
on each side over medium heat.  Makes about 8 patties.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Substitute 2 C. COARSELY GRATED ZUCCHINI for asparagus, and SUNFLOWER
SEED MEAL for almond meal.  Increase bread crumbs to 1 cup.
