Lentil Burgers

Diet Type: Vegan

Cooking Time: 30 minutes - one hour

Ingredients:

1 cup dried lentils, rinsed

3 cups water

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup button mushrooms, finely chopped

1 stalk celery, minced

1 tablespoon water

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon Thyme

1/4 teaspoon Sage

1 teaspoon Tamari

1/4 cup unbleached flour

1/4 cup rolled oats or bread crumbs

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard


Directions:

In a medium saucepan, bring the lentils and water to a boil, lower

the heat, cover, and cook for 30 minutes until tender. Drain. In a

medium skillet, steam the onion, mushrooms, and celery in the water,

stirring to prevent sticking. Mix all of the ingredients together.

Shape into patties and cook on a lightly oiled skillet, or bake in a

350 oven for 20 minutes. Turn once to brown on both sides.



Servings: 4

I'm really not here to stir anything up, but I'm very curious as to
why someone who professes to have no need/interest in meat would spend
so much effort to make something look/taste/feel like real meat?

Is there some valid reason, that I haven't thought of? I'm doubting
it, since I've been thinking about this for many years (like, since I
first discovered that people were doing it in the 70s). It still just
continues to astound me. If anyone seriously has thought about this,
and is willing to share their thoughts on it, I really want to
know...but I'm not going veg, no matter what the answer is.
