Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Purée the hot, broken rice in a food processor with the chocolate powder until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then mix in the beet/carrot mixture, mushrooms and rice/chocolate mixture. Let this set in the refrigerator for one hour. Later, form the mixture into 4–6 patties.

Next, lightly coat a sauté pan with oil and pan-roast the patties for six minutes per side on medium heat. (Alternatively, coat a baking sheet with oil and bake each patty in a 350-degree oven for eight minutes on each side.)

Enjoy on a roll, in a wrap or with greens, along with the toppings and/or sauces of your choosing.

(Tip: Burgers may be grilled for additional flavor after the above steps have been completed.)
