Directions

A very easy & tasty vegetarian burger taken from Vegetarian Times Mag Aug 93 issue with a few of my own additions. Cook rice till cooked and slightly sticky(white rice, I use basmati will take approx 20 min ), & lentils till soft. Cool slightly. Finely mince a medium sweet potato which has been peeled and cook until soft. Cool slightly.

Finely chop the mushrooms. Spinach leaves should be rinsed and finely shredded. Mix all ingredients and spices together adding salt & pepper to taste.(Nutrition values will not reflect added salt content). Chill in the refrigerator 15-30 min. Form into patties and saute in pan or can be done on a vegetable grill on an outdoor grill.

Make sure to grease or spray pan with Pam as these burgers will tend to stick. Note: any added oil or fat will not show up in the nutrition values so you must add any additional. Nutrition (per serving): 268 calories Total Fat 2 g (7% of calories) :
