Hearty Lentil and Brown Rice Burger

½ cup dried green lentils, rinsed
½ cup brown rice
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon sea salt
1½ cups water
1 cup vegetable broth

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.
