BEAN AND RICE PATTIES IN PITA WITH YOGURT TAHINI DRESSING
This is a fun meal from Moosewood's Lowfat Favorites. The cookbook says this makes a lower fat substitute for felafel (which I love) - I don't know about replacing felafel, but these are good for their own sake. I added a bit more spice to the mix than the recipe called for - more cumin and a touch of cayenne - and next time I'll probably add even more - so feel free to season them however your family will like it best! Prep time does not include cooking brown rice.

Steps:
- Warm olive oil in nonstick skillet. Add onions, garlic and salt and cook on medium low heat, stirring often, for 5-10 minutes, till onions are tender.
- Add the bell peppers and cumin and cook for 5 minutes more, till peppers are soft, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Thoroughly mash the beans by hand in a large mixer bowl (I used a potato masher).
- Combine the parsley, rice and lemon juice into the mashed beans.
- Add the cooked vegetables and mix well.
- Add black pepper to taste (and any other seasonings you might like, especially if you like things spicy).
- At this point, you could chill the mixture till you're ready to make the patties - I did and it probably helped make them a little easier to handle.
- Shape the mixture into about 18 small patties, about 2 1/2 inches across.
- Prepare a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- Heat the skillet and cook the patties to medium heat till golden brown on the underside, about 5-8 minutes.
- Gently turn them and lightly brown the other side, about 3-5 minutes longer.
- Serve hot or at room temperature - good stuffed into pita pockets with chopped veggies tossed in oil and vinegar and toppped with yogurt tahini dressing.
- For dressing:.
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Will keep for a week in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
