    These are so good! I used sushi grade brown rice & cooked the lentils & rice with a low sodium veggie broth. Even my meat eating friends LOVE them :) I end up with almost 16 patties but they freeze well. Now I make a double or tripple batch to have lots of extras to freeze Thanks. - 4/16/08

    These were great! I added the spices(heaping measuring spoons)to the rice and lentils as they were simmering. I carefully pulverized the quick cooking oatmeal with a hand held blender and added it to the hot lentils and rice when they were done and mixed well. Cool add fine minced onions & gr.carrot - 2/10/10

    These were very good...But the calorie count is way off.
    It clearly say uncooked rice...which has way more calories in a cup. I posted a corrected, recipe...You may look for it.

    TY....Good recipe - 10/12/10

    My entire family enjoyed these burgers immensely.. We used a circular cookie cutter to get the shape. It is very ideal to freeze themas well, and cook straight from the freezer. - 10/26/07

    I thought these were very good. I used shortgrain brown rice, and also added a grated green bell pepper and about 2 cups sliced mushrooms plus sesame seeds pressed into the formed patties. It makes a whole lot more than 8 servings! I will definitely make this again and again. - 2/17/08

    These things are HUGE! And good. I am the only one in our house that would even attempt to eat them. Which is fine. I love them. I noticed after sitting in the refrigerator overnight or a few hours before cooking them helped them to stay together and helped with the flavor. - 6/17/10

    WOW! I made a couple changes because I was out of lentils (kidney beans) and carrots (radishes, believe it or not) and they were wonderful. Even my daughter, who HATES radishes will devour these. - 6/4/10

    Sorry, but this was not a winner at our house.
    My boys found it to be tasteless,and one did not even want to try it. I found it to be interesting, but not very tasty.
    I used a burger press to make the burgers, but still found they did not stay together well. Probably will not make these again. - 4/16/10

    These are excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and made 8 very large patties. They freeze well and reheat in the microwave without a problem. I didn't use bread or bun, just topped with 1/2 avocado (sliced), 1 Tbsp low fat sour cream and 2 Tbsp chunky salsa. Yumm! - 1/25/10

    They need more seasonings or topping and they were hard to keep together. - 1/20/10

    As others have noted, the calories on these is completely inaccurate. With that said, I'm fairly convinced these are the perfect food. Endlessly modifiable, there is always a batch in my freezer. I bake them to keep them together better but the key is in smashing up the rice so it binds well. - 1/28/12

    Great recipe, but I thought they needed A LOT more seasoning. I made them as is to keep the sodium down, but really wish I had added some extra spices and salt. Had no other problem with them and boy were they a hearty meal! - 7/18/10

    Not bad for vegan! I added all ingredients to the still warm R&L mix. Had no problem with not holding together. Added a really spicy mixture I got in Italy, along with chili powder and cumin. Had it on an Arnold's sandwich thin with Tzatziki sauce. Glad it freezes well! - 6/24/10

    I made these for the first time today.Cooked the lentils&rice for only 30 minutes.When I started mixing the ingredients (I used oatbran instead of oatmeal) I was initially worried that they would not stick but after I used the potato masher and then my hands to form the patties was fine.8 good size - 5/3/10

    This is one of my all timefavorites! My husband the carnivore loves them, as do I! I substitute a chile/salt/limon seasoning for the other seasonings called for, which assds some spice, and sometimes I chop cilantro into the mixture, too. I always end up with 9 instead of 8. - 7/15/10

    This was ok, but I could not taste any of the seasonings. The only thing that I could taste besides the lentils and rice were the carrots. - 9/12/07

    I made this last night as part of my Sparks meal plan. Like other lentil burgers I've tried, I couldn't get a firm patty out of the mixture, but it held up ok. My husband suggested adding a good Indian Curry. It was a perfect addition to the recipe! We will make this again with the Curry. - 7/7/11

    I enjoyed these, but I'll definitely up the spices next time; maybe some hot & soy sauces+1 tsp ea dried oregano and parsley! I'll also simmer the rice and lentils in vegetable broth next time. Use a stand mixer to combine the cooled ingredients; the patties stayed together perfectly while frying! - 3/21/11

    This was excellent!!!! Very tasty and easy to prepare. I used my Cuisinart food processer to finely grate the carrots and onions. I also used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. This a recipe I will use over and over again. Thanks!!! P.S. My husband liked it alot too!!! - 3/17/11
