A wholesome combination of rice and lentils with veges, spices and herbs. This is from 'Great Vegetarian Dishes' by Kurma Dasa. I use brown rice, rye breadcrumbs and all-natural peanut butter (sometimes I add some cashew or almond butter too). A good recipe for OAMC. The recipe says it yields 16 burgers, but I make my patties bigger! Prep time does not include cooking time for rice and lentils.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked short-grain rice
1 1/2 cups cooked brown lentils, thoroughly drained
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow asafetida powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
oil, for shallow frying
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead well.
3. Pinch off 16 portions of mixture, roll them into smooth balls, and with wet hands press out the balls into patties.
4. Arrange patties on a lightly oiled baking tray and place into oven until they dry out a little and darken slightly (around 20 minutes for my oven).
5. (Burgers can now be refrigerated or frozen until needed).
6. Pan-fry in oil until hot.
