Lentil Burgers

Lentil Burgers

1 carrot, finely diced

2 stalks celery, finely diced

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 c. cooked lentils

2 c. cooked brown rice

1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts

3 T. gluten

1 tsp. each- sea salt, cumin, dry mustard and sweet paprika

1/4 tsp. black pepper

5-6 T. water

Preheat oven to 350.

Water saute carrot, celery, onion and garlic till tender. Combine with remaining ingredients, stirring well to make sure gluten develops. Form into patties ( I made about 14) and place on lightly oiled baking sheet. ( I got rid of all of my non-stick cookware a few years back, now I only use cast iron and stainless steel, but that's a post for another day...)  Bake 15 min., flip patties over and bake an additional 15 min. Enjoy. These can also be frozen for a quick meal later.

Can use Black Beans instead.
