Three Nut Burgers

 

Three Nut Burgers

• 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils (see below)

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts, ground

• 3/4 cup cashews, ground

• 3 tablesoons almond butter

• 1 cup dry breadcrumbs

• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• onion powder

• salt

• pepper

 

Combine all ingredients. Salt, pepper, & onion powder is to taste. Shape into 8 patties.

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet or griddle. (I like to use cast iron.) Brown about 5 minutes on each side. (I add a small amount of olive oil when I flip.)

 

For the lentils, I use the following recipe. It will make more than you need for the burgers. I usually use the remainder for tacos or as a dip with tortilla chips.

I did use canned lentils for the burgers once when I was in a rush. The burgers weren’t nearly as good.

 

• 1 1/2 cups dried lentils

• 5 cups water

• 1 bay leaf

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/8 teaspoon thyme

• 1/4 teaspoon celery salt

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 

Bring all ingredients to a boil. Simmer until water is almost completely absorbed & lentils are soft.
