Ingredients
½ cup dried green lentils, rinsed½ cup brown rice1 medium yellow onion, chopped1 carrot, grated4 garlic cloves, minced3 teaspoons ground cumin1 teaspoon ground sage1 teaspoon sea salt1½ cups water1 cup vegetable broth
Directions
Directions: Combine the lentils, brown rice, onion, carrot, garlic, cumin, sage, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the water and vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce the heat and boil gently until the rice and lentils are tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Drain in a colander to remove any excess liquid. Let cool slightly, then process in a food processor with a steel blade until you have a fairly smooth texture. Form into 6 burger patties. Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill with a lightly oiled vegetable rack in place. Grill the burgers until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Serve on a salad or wrapped in lettuce with your favorite toppings.
Serve with hearty salad.

    I made this recipe and it was very good. Because of the salt in the broth I did not add any more. If you have difficulty shaping into patties, wet your hands or chill the mixture. - 3/30/14
