Bean Burgers

• Makes: 6 cups

• Ingredients:
  • ¾ c. dried lentils, cleared
  • 1¾ c. vegetable broth
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • ½ c, carrot grated
  • 6 whole mushrooms, chopped
  • ½ c. green onions, chopped
  • 1 c. non/lowfat grated cheese
  • 6 burger buns

• Directions:
  • Combine lentils, broth, and pepper in a 2-quart pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and set aside.
  • Tear the bread into pieces and place the bread in a blender and mix into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, and set aside.
  • Place the cooked lentils in a food processor and process until almost smooth. Add the carrots, mushrooms, green onions, and bread crumbs, and mix well. Add the cheese, and process until mixed.
  • Shape the mixture into 6 patties. Coat a large skillet with non stick cooking spray (nonfat), and preheat over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until brown.
  • Place each patty on a bun, and top with your favorite vegetables and condiments (tomatoes, sprouts, pickles, nonfat ranch dressing, ketchup, mustard, etc.).
