    When I threw these veggie burgers together, I admittedly didn't expect the textures & flavors to turn out as well as they did. I was beyond pleasantly surprised--these burgers are a real keeper!

    My inspiration for these came from wanting to incorporate more legumes into my little one's diet. And, boy was I happy that he loved these as much as I did!

    These delightful vegetarian patties are chock full of protein & fiber, hold together & cook incredibly well, and truly taste great just about any way you choose to eat them!

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups brown rice cooked
    • 1 cup green lentils cooked
    • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
    • 1/2 cup chopped onion
    • 2 garlic cloves

    Instructions

    • In a food processor combine: rice, lentils, sunflower seeds, onion, garlic & spices. Process well. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Then add: egg (or flax egg*), oats, and oil. Mix & mash with a spatula until all is relatively smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
    • Remove from fridge and shape into patties (this should make 4 burger-sized patties).
    • Heat a greased skillet on med-high heat & cook patties until browned, about 5 minutes each side.
    • These are great on their own, served on a bed of greens or burger-style on any gluten free bread of your choice!
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    To make a flax egg: combine 1 tbs of ground flax seed w/ 3 tbs of water and let sit for 10 minutes or until beginning to thicken–add to recipe as you would any egg.
