lentil burger. and a dilemma.

-room-mate approved!-

full of yummy lentils and red onion and soy sauce.

 I love soy sauce.

I put it on everything I want to eat that doesn't include honey

this recipe came from me dragging home from work on a thursday night, hungry and wanting cancun's chicken taco.

by myself? that's lame. 

I don't even eat out.

but I needed something sort of like meat. 

we don't have any meat in the house!

and also, I had an hour.

so this couldn't be a big production-

no, it had to be quick and awesome and sort of meat-like

got that?

here's what happened:

lentils

red onion

oats

soy sauce

olive oil

cumin

cook the lentils by boiling them and letting them simmer until soft. it's great if they're mushy for this.

{while lentils cook} chop the onion. 

-put the onion in the pan with some oil and let it soften

-put your oats in the blender and grind them into oat flour

-hopefully by this time, the lentils will be cooked

-drain them, and put them in a large bowl with the onions. add soy sauce and cumin.

-add oat flour little bits at a time, until the dough is moist but packable

-form into little patties. they don't need to be very flat yet

-set the patties in the pan with some oil, and cook them on both sides, flattening as you see fit

-be careful because they are a little delicate.

I hope you love them.
