are slightly soft. Remove from heat. Coarsely chop pecans in a food

processor, add the rice, carrots and onion mixture and pulse until the

mixture has a mealy consistency. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, add

bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the

egg. Shape into six patties. Place patties on a baking sheet that has

been lightly oiled or coated with cooking spray. Broil about 6 inches from
