Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 These vegan burgers, made with lentils, are healthy, low-fat, and delicious. Yield 8-10 burgers Time 1 hour Tools saucepan with lid wooden spoon small frying pan large bowl blender or food processor small bowl Ingredients 1 c dry lentils, well rinsed 2½ c water ½ t salt 1 T olive oil ½ medium onion, diced 1 medium carrot, diced ½ t pepper 1 t soy sauce, optional ¾ c rolled oats, finely ground ¾ c bread crumbs Directions Place the lentils, water, and salt in saucepan, bring to a boil, lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, until water is nearly gone and lentils are very soft, with splitting skins. Sauté the onion and carrot in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Mix the lentils, onions, carrots, pepper, and optional soy sauce in the large bowl, then mix in the ground oats and bread crumbs. While still warm, form the lentil mixture into patties, which can now be frozen, refrigerated (for up to 5 days), or cooked immediately. Cooking (2 possibilities): In a frying pan, heat a bit of oil, place a burger on top, and fry until brown, 1-2 minutes. Repeat on other side and serve. In a 400º oven, bake the burgers on a greased baking sheet until light brown, about 15 minutes. Notes You can eat these veggie burgers as you would a hamburger - on a bun or toast, topped with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, onion, pickles.... My sister in law gave me this recipe about five years ago. Really easy, and really good! You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. -James D.
