I need to unearth the food processor for this one...

1 T. EEOO
1 chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 T.)
8 oz. mushrooms, trimmed & sliced
1/2 c. pecan halves, toasted (2 oz.) (someone used Cashews and loved)
1 cup cooked rice, preferably brown basmati
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
S & P to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
1 lg. egg, lightly beaten

Heat oil in skillet and add onion and garlic, saute about 3 min. until oniob is soft.  Add mushrooms and saute until they are slightly soft, about three more min.  Remove pan from heat.

Coarsely chop pecans in a food processor (not a blender).  Add rice, carrots, and the sauteed mixture.  Pulse a few more time until the mixture has a mealy texture, transfer to bowl and add breadcrumbs.

Shape into six patties and broil for 5 to 7 minutes (6-inches from heat) on each side.
