Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 1/4 cups water

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup regular brown rice

2 cloves garlic -- minced

3/4 cup dry lentils -- rinsed and drained

15 ounces canned garbanzo beans -- rinsed and drained

3/4 cup regular rolled oats

2 slightly beaten egg whites

3/4 teaspoon ground sage

1/2 teaspoon dried savory -- crushed

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 cup finely chopped toasted almonds

Nonstick spray coating

Plain fat-free yogurt -- (optional)

 

Miss that morning sizzle in your skillet? Try boldly flavored lentil

and-rice patties as a tasty substitute for higher-fat sausage.

 

In a 2-quart saucepan combine the water, onion, uncooked brown rice, and

garlic. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20

minutes. Add the lentils. Simmer, covered, about 25 minutes more or until

rice and lentils are tender. Remove the saucepan from heat.

 

Stir garbanzo beans into lentil-rice mixture. Mash with a potato

masher. Stir in rolled oats. Let stand for 5 minutes.

 

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the egg whites, sage, savory, salt,

black pepper, red pepper, and nutmeg. Add the lentil-rice mixture. Stir

until combined. Stir in almonds. Using about 1/4 cup mixture for each,

shape mixture into 16 patties about 1/2 inch thick. (If desired, you can

freeze the uncooked patties. Place patties in a single layer in a freezer

container. Seal, label, and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in

refrigerator overnight.)

 

To cook parties, spray an unheated large skillet with non stick

coating. Cook the patties, up to 8 at a time, over medium heat for 7 to 10

minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. To serve, if desired, top

with fat-free yogurt. Makes 16 patties.
