Title: Tightwad Lentil Burgers
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

2 c Lentil-bulgur mixture (equal
-parts)
2 c Bread crumbs
1 c Chopped onion
1/2 c Chopped green pepper
4 tb Mixed Italian herbs
4 Cloves garlic (or 4 t.
-powdered garlic)
2 tb Soy flour mixed with 2 T.
-water
1/2 c Milk (skim, rice or soy)

Cynthia mentioned the Tightwad Gazette, which brought to mind the following
recipe.

Mix the first six ingredients. Mix in soy flour/water mixture. Add milk and
mix well. Chill 1/2 hour. Make into patties and fry 10 minutes per side, or
bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees, 10 minutes on each side.

Notes:

1. The lentil-bulgur mixture is simply equal parts lentils and bulgur
cooked together. I usually make a large amount and freeze in 2 cup
portions.

2. You can, of course, use any seasonings you like.

3. The author doesn't say how big to make the burgers -- I like them kind
of small and fairly thin and get about a dozen. Posted to fatfree digest
