Health and fertility benefits of Great Grain Burgers Recipe

Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup uncooked bulgur
1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning blend
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups water
2 cups finely chopped fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
12 sandwich rolls, optional
Lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine the rice, bulgur, seasoning blend, poultry seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from the heat; cool completely. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms, oats, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese and onion. In a blender, process cottage cheese and egg substitute until smooth; add to the mushroom mixture. Stir in the parsley, salt, basil, celery seed and chilled rice mixture. Shape 1/2 cupfuls into patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook four patties in 1 teaspoon oil for 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crisp. Repeat with remaining patties and oil. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato if desired.
