I had a meeting so it's late but I wanted to post this for you to try tomorrow. These are delicious and somewhat easy. Lentils are great beans because they don't need to be soaked ahead of time. They are a great source of fiber and protein. Quinoa (pronounced Ken-wah) is a wonderful grain that is loaded with protein. It can be found in most health foods stores and even some regular supermarkets. Check the grain aisle near the rice.
You will need the following ingredients:
1 Cup Cooked Quinoa (follow the package instructions)
1 Cup Cooked Lentils (follow the package instructions)
4 Small or 2 Large Cooked Yams – No Skins
1 Large Handful of Cilantro (I used scallions instead)
1 Cup Soaked Chopped Walnuts (Instead I used 1/4 cup of freshly ground flaxseeds)
1 Table Spoon Cumin
2-3 Cloves Chopped Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil for the pan
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with the pan in it. Blend all ingredients by hand. Sometimes using a potato masher is helpful. Form into burgers. Drizzle some olive oil on the heated pan. Place burgers on the pan and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until brown. Flip over halfway through. Serve with some steamed kale.
This recipe was given to me by my classmate Dave Tyler, CHHC, Certified Holistic Health Counselor
Thanks Dave!
