INSTRUCTIONS
Place lentils, rice, onion, oil and liquids into 2 quart pot. Bring to
boil, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add veggies. Bring to boil, cover
and simmer 30 minutes longer. Now if it's been 'that kind of day" call
it quits and serve Lentil Stew. On better days, mash stew. Shape into
patties, Attain proper consitency by adding liquid or wheat germ abd
dry milk. Coat patties with wheat germ. Brown in hot oil, 5 minutes
per side. Tuck a patty inside a pita or bun, add "fixings", and pass
the catsup! Kids love this! ** Note: I usually don't add the wheat
germ, and I coat and thicken with bread crumbs (seasoned is fine, but
sometimes too salty). You can also use corn flake crumbs for this. I
also double or tripl my recipe, so that I can have the stew one night
and then the burgers the next. Saves on cooking time. I also bake my
burgers rather than frying. I oil a cookie sheet and spoon lentil
mixture onto pan in standard burger shapes...then back at 350 degrees
for 20-30 minutes...keep an eys on it every 5-10 minutes or so after
the first 20 minutes...They'll be delicious... This recipe was taken
