Ingredients
  • Lentil-Walnut Burgers
  • I6 servings
  • 3/4 c Dry lentils
  • 1 1/2 c Water
  • 2 ts Cider vinegar
  • 1 tb Butter
  • 1 c Onion; finely minced
  • 2 Garlic cloves; crushed
  • 10 lg Mushrooms; minced
  • 1/2 c Walnuts; finely minced
  • 1 sm Celery stalk; finely minced
  • 1 ts Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 ts Dry mustard
  • 1 tb Dry sherry
  • 1/2 c Raw wheat germ

Directions
  1. This takes about 40 minutes to prepare: you can do "part 1" while
  2. "part 2" is cooking, plus about 1 hour to chill, then 15 minutes to
  3. cook.
  4. Makes between 4 to 6 servings, depending on the size of patties you
  5. make and the hunger of participants.
  6. Note: uncooked burgers may be individually wrapped and frozen.
  7. Part 1: Bring lentils and water to a boil in saucepan. Lower the
  8. heat, and simmer, partly-covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are
  9. soft, and liquid is gone. Place in large-ish bowl. Add vinegar, and
  10. mash.
  11. Part 2: Saute remaining ingredients, except for wheat germ, together
  12. over medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes, or until all is tender. Add to
  13. the mashed lentils, and mix well. Add wheat germ and mix again.
  14. Chill for about 1 hour.
  15. The Burgers:
  16. 1. Make 4-inch patties from chilled burger-mixture. For freezing,
  17. make patties, place wax paper between each patty and stack; wrap well
  18. and freeze (or wrap individually).
  19. 2. Fry burgers in butter until brown, *or* broil about 8 minutes on
  20. each side. Try putting sesame seeds in pan to keep burgers from
  21. sticking to pan, if it is a problem.
  22. 3. Serve either as patties, or as burgers in a whole-wheat bun. Good
  23. with cheese melted on top, basil sprinkled on each burger is tasty
  24. also.
  25. Note: you can also form mixture into balls and brown well then add in any recipe you would use meatballs in.
