1 cup herb stuffing mix , mashed into crumbs
1.5 cups fresh or frozen veggies ( corn , peas , carrots)
4 eggs
1 red onion, diced

Thaw veggies (if frozen) and lightly cook
Drain and rinse garbanzo beans
Mix onions, corn, peas, and carrots in a large bowl, then add 2/3 of the cooked couscous
Blend garbanzo beans, spinach, and cilantro into a puree
Add eggs and blend, one at a time
Add stuffing crumbs and blend
Combine all ingredients (including olive oil) and mix until nearly smooth
Add the remaining 1/3 couscous (this will serve to both bind ingredients together and add a delicious grainy texture)
Fry on stovetop in a bit of olive oil or grill. Burgers will have a green color due to the spinach and cilantro; cook until golden brown on both sides
