"Burgers" on the stove
This is yet another veggie burger experiment. So far, my intention to eat less meat has been working out quite nicely and my stomach seems to be approving. This is the first time I've used lentils to make veggie burgers and I also worked in some caramelized onions! Very exciting indeed...
Again...I totally improvised these...but using a recipe I've done in the past (loosely followed, of course ;)
Ingredients:
1 cup (dry) lentils (your choice of color)
5 medium onions
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp all spice
1 clove garlic
1 egg
1/2-1 Cup bread crumbs
3 T olive oil
Sea Salt
Cook the lentils according to package and let cool.
Slice and caramelize the onions in an open pan, so they get nice and crispy (use the olive oil and sea salt for this). Let cool.
Mix everything together and form into patties. If too soft add more breadcrumbs, too dry...more egg or you can use yogurt.
Cook for about 4 minutes on each side and serve!
I added tomato and basil to these. Cheese also makes a nice topper.
