Bean & Rice Patty / Burger

We had black beans and we had rice.  Together, one of natures healthy things!  A Complete Protein even!  It was lunch time, and I was doing office work from home and wanted a burger like thing for lunch.  No meat at all in the house, so this is what I did.

What I used:
Black beans
Long Grain Brown Rice
Small chopped onion
Flax (I have a bunch of flax on hand, so I use it now and then)
Olive Oil (just a little)
Corn Meal
Cumin, chilli spice, S & P
How I put it together:
I mixed the items in a bowl until sticky, formed into patty shapes and then covered with the corn meal and wrapped in wax paper and placed in the fridge for an hour to firm up.

Fried over medium high heat until brown and crispy, served with pan fried french fries.
The afterthoughts:
I was very pleased with the turn out.  Not overly dry, nice spiciness to it too.  Was the closet thing to a burger I have had in a while!  I am going to kick this around some more.
