Sounds good thanks for sharing.

: joy dot: being able to find great
: recipes online! (sometimes I
: forget how amazing that really
: is...)

: I made these Vegetarian Lentil
: Burgers and really liked them - I
: think they make a wonderful brown,
: or a good veggie protein source. I
: wanted to share the recipe with
: you all.

: This recipe is from a website I
: really like called "101
: Cookbooks" by Heidi Swanson.
: I'm just listing the ingredients
: and writing down how I made them -
: but I recommend going to her site
: to see more details, and look at
: more of her recipes! Lots of yummy
: stuff...good ideas for browns and
: greens. Her photos of the food are
: really beautiful.

: Vegetarian Lentil Burgers

: 3 cups cooked black lentils
: 4 large eggs
: 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
: 1 onion, finely chopped
: 1 cup toasted fine (whole-grain)
: bread crumbs
: 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
: (or clarified butter)

: Combine lentils, eggs and salt in a
: blender. Put in a bowl and mix in
: the onions and breadcrumbs. Let it
: sit for a few minutes so the
: breadcrumbs soak up some of the
: moisture. Then form into patties
: and fry in the oil until browned -
: about 8 minutes each side.

: The recipe says to make 12 patties. I
: made 4 big ones - they were really
: big! I think next time I will make
: 6.

: I didn't have black lentils so I used
: regular brown lentils from a can -
: two cans of them, drained and
: rinsed. I used regular salt in
: place of sea salt, and I made
: bread crumbs in the blender out of
: toasted Ezekiel bread. Came out
: great!

: You can cut the patties in half and
: use them like a bun (that's what I
: did - put cheese and chopped hard
: boiled egg inside!) Or eat them on
: the side, or as a burger in
: between two slices of bread.
