Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked lentils

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • ¾ cup carrot, grated

  • 2 cups bread crumbs

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 clove garlic OR 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional)

  • Non-stick spray


Preparation

  1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before you begin cooking. Thoroughly wash all fresh produce.

  2. Place lentils in a colander, rinse in cold water, and drain.

  3. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add lentils, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.

  4. Add onion and carrots to the saucepan. Cook 15 minutes more or until lentils are tender.

  5. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

  6. Stir in breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, oregano, and salt (if using).

  7. Spray a large frying pan with non-stick spray. Use a ½-cup dry measuring cup to drop lentil mixture into the hot frying pan.

  8. Flatten into patties and cook until firm and brown on both sides-about 4 minutes per side.

  9. Serve on whole-grain buns and top as desired.
