Chili Con Carne Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
1 tbsp butter or margarine
3 stems parsley, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 None small bread roll, torn into small pieces
2/3 cup frozen or canned drained corn
2 None bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 None onion, finely diced
1 None jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 None egg, lightly beaten
1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp chili oil or vegetable oil

Preparation

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice and return to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 mins until all the water is absorbed. Melt the butter in another saucepan, add the rice and parsley and cook, stirring often, for a few mins. Remove from the heat; cover to keep warm.
Knead together the ground beef, bread, corn, peppers, onion, jalapeno, egg and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, then shape the mixture into eight small patties.
Heat the chili oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook for 4-5 mins per side until cooked through. Serve the burgers on a bed of parsley rice.
