Most cookbooks where they list bean cooking times suggest that red lentils only need about 20 minutes to cook and brown lentils about twice that [40 to 60 minutes]. However, i always find they need more than that to have the texture i prefer. i didn't time how long i cooked them in this recipe prior to adding them to the loaf mixture, but i know it was a bit over a half hour.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I made something similar the day before yesterday from canned red beans. Next time I am going to add some rice for maybe a less mushier consistency. I cut liquids to a minimum for this but it's just the beans are mushy so the consistency is going to be mushy no matter what. I think next time I am going to do beans, rice, and maybe chopped mushrooms too. ) Blessings, Chanda - GeminiDragon Saturday, April 02, 2005 1:23 PM Re: Nature burger loaf...............
