Ingredients
Makes 12:1 cup dry lentils2 1/2 cups water1 bay leaf1/2 cup diced onion1/2 cup diced celery1 tbs vegetable oil1 tbs chopped fresh tarragon2 tsp chopped fresh marjoram1 tsp ground cumin1/2 tsp dark sesame oil1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper3/4 cup rolled oats (we use oatmeal)3/4 cups dry bread crumbs
Directions
In a medium saucepan, simmer the lentils in water with the bay leaf
until the lentil skins split easily (about 45 minutes). Meanwhile,
cook the onion and celery in the oil, stirring, until soft, about 5
minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients
except the oats and bread crumbs. Process the oats in a blender or
food processor until finely ground. Combine the oats and bread crumbs
with the lentil mixture (retaining the water the lentils were boiled
in). Shape the mixture into 12 patties. (You may freeze the patties
at this point.)
Bake at 375 until firm.

    Easy to make and fun to put together. Tastes great and freezes really well. - 6/17/07

    I found them much too dry even though I added lots more water - maybe I used the wrong sort of lentils - 8/7/10

    my husband gave it two stars, but i think it is better. I added a couple of tablespoons of salsa and an ounce of monterey jack with lettuce and it is tasty! - 6/21/07

    Not incredible. But definitely filling and kind of yummy. I added salsa and jack cheese as well. Yeah, a second chance was well deserved for this yummy treat! - 6/21/07
