Because Marie's family was in the fast food mindset, to win over the kids, we made over their favorite meal, hamburgers and fries. Because one of the daughters is a vegetarian, two siblings are active in sports, husband, John, needed to lower his cholesterol and Marie was looking to lose weight we settled on gardenburgers and baked fries. Make a double batch and keep individually frozen patties on hand for nights you're just too tired to cook.
1/2 large onion, finely diced
1 1/4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 cup coarse bulgur
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 ounces frozen peas and carrots, optional
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
Serving suggestions: Serve with grilled onions, grilled portobello mushroom slices, and mixed greens, or, burger style with mango ketchup
Pour onions into a 3-quart saucepot with the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Add bulgur, chickpeas, and frozen vegetables, stir until combined. Turn off heat, cover and let stand 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
Remove pot from heat. Using a potato masher or spoon back, mash ingredients together making sure all chickpeas get smashed. Form into four burger patties. Lightly coat a 10-inch non-stick pan with cooking spray and turn heat to medium. Place all burgers in pan when hot and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until heated through and golden.
Optional: Fold in 1/4 cup grated mozzarella to mashed bulgur mixture before forming into burgers.
Tip: Because the kids loved tacos, we seasoned the gardenburger mixture with taco seasoning mix, but any seasonings you like will work.

Garden burgers (Top Secret Recipes Lite by Todd Wilbur)
Makes 6 patties
2 tablespoons bulgur 1 lb mushrooms, quartered (4 cups steamed)
1 cup diced onion (1/2 cup steamed) 1/2 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup brown rice (cooked) 1/2 cup shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded low fat cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese
1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
dash pepper 2 tb cornstarch
olive oil cooking spray
1.Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the bulgur in a small bowl and let sit for about 1 hr. Steam the mushrooms for 10 minutes or until tender; then remove them from steamer; and replace with onion. Steam onions for 10 minutes or until pieces are translucent. Keep these separate and set aside.
2.Add 1/2 cup of water to the oats and let them soak for 10 minutes, until soft. Drain any excess water from bulgur and oats, the combine grains with mushrooms, rice, cheeses, and spices in blender or food processor and pulse 4 or 5 times until ingredients are chopped fine, but not pureed.
3.Pour mixture into a bowl with the onion and cornstarch, and mix well. Preheat oven to 300 degrees and set a large skillet over medium/low heat. Spray the skillet with spray. Measure 1/2 cup at a time of the mixture into the pan and shape with a spoon into a 3 3/4 inch patty that is approximately 1/2 inch thick.
4.Cook the patties in batches for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until light brown on the surface. When all of the patties have been cooked in skillet, arrange them on a lightly sprayed cooking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven. Be sure to turn them over halfway through the cooking time. Freeze when they have cooled.
To serve: Can be reheated in pan; grilled or microwaved for 30 to 35 seconds and then toasted.
