Serving is always fun when plating up our lentil burgers straight from the grill because you can serve them in varying ways.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup Palouse Brand Brown Lentils
- 1 ½ cup rice
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbs ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground sage

- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp. fresh basil
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. ranch seasoning
- 2 tsp. lime
Directions
- Using a medium size heavy saucepan, combine lentils, rice, onion.

Tried these lentil burgers for the first time tonight. So good! Will surely make these again and again!

Don’t tell me to buy Ranch seasoning. No. List the spices or other ingredients, not the corporate product. A legit recipe lists ingredients, not products.

Recipe needs clarification. When do you add spices and veg broth? Do you saute the garlic, or just add it in raw when you form the patties? Thanks

Lentil burger recipe says
“Using a medium size heavy saucepan, combine lentils, rice, onion. Cover and bring to a boil”
Shouldn’t there be some stock or water in there? And the other spices??

Naive question on this site, I’m sure, but how does one sprout brown rice?
Cheryl
question: does this call for fresh sprouts of brown rice or cooked grains of malted rice or dried and ground sprouted rice-malt grains?
