1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/3 cup small-diced onion
1/3 cup small-diced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/16 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
Cook wild rice according to package instructions. Cool completely. (Can make a day ahead and refrigerate.)
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and sauté onions, celery, and garlic.
In a large bowl, combine onion-celery-garlic mixture with wild rice, breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Cool completely and then add eggs, stirring to combine.
Divide mixture into 4 and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties. Grill for about 10 minutes per side, or until well done.
