    In a food processor, pulse cereal and carrot. Add in beans, egg, and spices then blend well. Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the bean mixture onto a hot pan. Cook until browned, flip, and lightly press on each one to flatten and cook other side until browned. Serve on pita with lemon dill sauce and toppings such as: lettuce, kalamata olives, onions, bell pepper, cucumber, or feta.

    you can skip the pita all together. I do that sometimes. It's better with the pita though and the pita i use is 120 calories (on the low end for pita).

    Also, you can make this same recipe but with black beans and serve it on a slice of toast or on a burger bun and top with regular burger things like ketchup, mustard, and relish.
