This is a recipe that I modified from one I found at 101cookbooks.com. It is super easy and DEEE-licious! It has become a new regular on our dinner menu.
What You Need:
- 1 cup dried french green lentils
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 2 pieces of whole grain bread, toasted well (or use store-bought bread crumbs)
- 2 eggs
- cumin
- olive oil (for the pan)
- condiments, toppings, buns or bread to serve on
- Cook lentils (making sure that you do not overcook)
- While lentils are cooking, chop and saute the 1/2 onion in a skillet heated with olive oil. Cook onions until they are tender and starting to caramelize. Add cumin (to your taste) and continue to cook for 2 more minutes while stirring continuously. Turn off heat.
- Put your 2 pieces of toast in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to turn your bread into crumbs. If the bread is not toasted well-enough to make crumbs, then toast some more!
- When lentils are finished cooking, strain well. Put in a bowl and add the 2 eggs. Mash up your mixture really well (a potato masher works well)... if it is not mashed up well, the burgers won't stick together.
- Add onions and breadcrumbs to the mixture and combine well.
- Cook in a saute pan lightly coated with olive oil, flipping once, until each side turns a golden brown.
- Serve with home-made fries and enjoy!
- Makes 3 medium-size patties.
