Tightwad lentil burgers

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Lentil-bulgur mixture (equal parts)
2 cups Bread crumbs
1 cup Chopped onion
½ cup Chopped green pepper
4 tablespoons Mixed Italian herbs
4 Cloves garlic (or 4 t. powdered garlic)
2 tablespoons Soy flour mixed with 2 T. water
½ cup Milk (skim, rice or soy)

Directions

Cynthia mentioned the Tightwad Gazette, which brought to mind the following recipe.

Mix the first six ingredients. Mix in soy flour/water mixture. Add milk and mix well. Chill ½ hour. Make into patties and fry 10 minutes per side, or bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees, 10 minutes on each side.

Notes:

1. The lentil-bulgur mixture is simply equal parts lentils and bulgur cooked together. I usually make a large amount and freeze in 2 cup portions.

2. You can, of course, use any seasonings you like.

3. The author doesn't say how big to make the burgers -- I like them kind of small and fairly thin and get about a dozen. Posted to fatfree digest V97 #059 by Debbie Cowherd <dcowherd@...> on Apr 16, 1997
