You can use almost any vegetable to make these burger patties,

except lettuce and other greens. If you pick a hard vegetable like

potato, squash, or eggplant, you’ll need to cook it first.

Roughly mash the lentils. Make sure the vegetables are either

small to begin with (like corn or peas) or finely chopped so that

they cook evenly. I went for a bell pepper this time.

Mix the lentils, veggies, and meat with your hands in a large

bowl. If you’re going to barbecue, add an egg to keep them from

crumbling. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 8 patties.

Grill the patties either on the barbecue or a pan on the stovetop

over medium-high heat. Sear until dark brown on one side,

then flip ’em and do the same on the other side. If you want

cheeseburgers, lay cheese on the patties after flipping them once.

Serve on toasted buns with your favorite condiments and fresh

vegetables. Burgers are a great place to be adventurous!

If you won’t eat all the burgers at once, wrap the raw patties in

plastic. Refrigerate for a few days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
