½ cup Rice, white; cooked; cooled
½ cup Lentils; cooked
1 small Sweet potato; peeled,cooked, minced
8 Spinach leaves; rinsed, blanched, finely shredded
½ cup Mushrooms, fresh; chopped
1 teaspoon Soy sauce, low sodium
Salt and pepper to taste

Refrigerate for 15 to 39 minutes.

Form mixture into 6 to 8 patties. Oil a vegetable grill generously--these patties tend to stick. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until medium brown.

Variation: Instead of burgers, form mixture into small balls. Grill until browned. Serve as a snack with a dipping sauce or add to pasta with your favorite sauce.
