Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cans dark red kidney beans -- (15 to 16 oz. each)

drained and rinsed

1/4 cup fat-free, cholesterol-free egg product

--OR 2 egg whites

1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs

2 teaspoons Cajun or Creole seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

--Tomato Salsa--

2 large tomatoes -- chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Using a potato masher, a wooden spoon or your hands, mash beans, egg

product, bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning and salt in a large bowl until

most of the beans are crushed. Wet your hands and shape mixture into

four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

 

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in

oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until patties are heated

through and slightly crusty. Top patties with salsa. Makes 4 servings.

 

Salsa: Mix together tomatoes, cilantro, vinegar and salt. Cover and

refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.

 

From " Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices, " (Macmillan, $25). The

original recipe included a tomato sauce to serve over these. For a

fresher summer flavor, we substituted a tomato salsa from elsewhere

in the book.

 

This flavorful burger was shared by a vegetarian friend. Habanero, or

Scotch bonnet, peppers are orange, lantern-shaped peppers that are

available in many supermarkets. They are known as the hottest chile

pepper, so feel free to substitute a jalapeno to tame the heat if you

like. For any pepper, use rubber gloves to handle them and don't

touch your face.
