Title: Lentil Burgers #1
Categories: Sandwich
Yield: 6 Servings

1 c Lentils
2 c Water
2 ts Vegetable oil
1 sm Onion
10 oz Fresh mushrooms
Salt & pepper
1 c Cooked brown rice
2 oz Grated; low-fat mozzarella
-cheese
1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts
2 ts Minced fresh thyme
1 Egg white; slightly beaten

Rinse lentils. In medium saucepan, combine lentils, water and 1/2 teaspoon
salt. Bring to boil; cover and simmer until lentils are softened, about 20
minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature. Mash or blend in food
processor.

Heat vegetable oil (or non-fat substitute?) in skillet. Saute onion until
translucent. Add mushrooms and continue sauteeing, stirring often, until
moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes. When mixture starts to stick to
the pan, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Add salt and pepper
to taste.

Place lentils in large bowl along with mushroom mixture and remaining
ingredients. Mix until well-blended.

Form six patties, 1/2 inch thick, between sheets of plactic wrap. Lightly
spray broiler pan with vegetable oil spray. Broil patties for 2 minutes on
each side or until top is lightly browned.

Refrigerate any leftovers and use as meat substitute as desired in
recipes.
