Directions:

In a medium saucepan, cook rice in boiling water, covered, 45 minutes or till soft and sticky. Measure 2 cups rice.

Meanwhile, in a food processor bowl, process navy beans till mashed. (Or place beans in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher.) Combine beans, peanuts, sunflower seeds and walnuts or pecans. Set aside.

In a large skillet, cook celery, carrot, onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon cooking oil till the vegetables are tender. Add to the nut mixture. Add beaten egg whites, soy sauce, tomato paste, oregano, sage, basil, pepper and cooked rice. Mix well.

Form into 3/4-inch-thick patties. In a large skillet, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking oil over medium heat. Cook 4 to 5 patties at a time on both sides till browned and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and patties. Serve in buns as you like, with desired toppers.

Note: You can substitute a 15-ounce can of navy beans, drained, for the cooked navy beans.
