Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beans

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

3 tablespoons olive oil -- or more if needed

1/2 cup minced onions

1 cup cooked brown lentils -- drained well

(dry lentils double when cooked)

1 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/2 cup cooked brown rice

2 tablespoons almond butter

2/3 cup dry bread crumbs

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 burger buns -- toasted

 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the

onion, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to a food processor.

 

2. Add the lentils, walnuts, rice, almond butter, bread crumbs, parsley, salt,

and pepper to the onion and process to blend well. Turn the mixture out into a

bowl, and shape into 6 patties.

 

3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add

the burgers and cook, turning once, until well browned on both sides, about 5

minutes per side. (If necessary, cook the burgers in batches, adding more oil as

needed.) Place on the toasted burger rolls and serve hot.

NOTES : The rich flavors of lentils and walnuts combine in these hearty veggie

burgers that are bound with creamy almond butter. These burgers are also great

served as an entree (without the rolls), topped with a mushroom sauce (page

303). Instead of cooking the burgers on top of the stove, you can bake them in a

preheated 350F oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Look for almond butter in natural food

stores.
