Curried Lentil, Rice and Carrot Burgers image

I love the Indian spices in these burgers. The turmeric offers bonus antioxidant health benefits, but even without it, they're in abundance in this recipe, with all the carrots and ginger.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 40m

Yield 6 burgers.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1/3 cup finely diced onion
1 cup finely diced carrots
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced or finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
Pinch of cayenne (or to taste)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 1/2 cups cooked brown lentils, drained
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a heavy ovenproof skillet and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about 3 minutes, and add the mushrooms, ginger, turmeric, cumin, curry powder, mustard seeds and cayenne and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant and the spices aromatic. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the rice.
  • Purée the lentils with the egg and add to the vegetable and rice mixture. Stir together, season with salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.

SPICED LENTIL-BROWN RICE BURGERS



Spiced Lentil-Brown Rice Burgers image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 lentil-brown rice burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

2/3 cup dried brown lentils
1/3 cup brown sushi rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 cup thinly sliced Tuscan kale
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more to taste
Kosher salt
4 pitas, tops trimmed
Shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes and sliced pickles, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the burgers: Combine 2 cups water, the lentils, rice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until tender, 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes. If there is water left in the saucepan, cook, uncovered, until evaporated.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the kale, garlic, cumin, curry powder and allspice. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor until finely ground with some coarse pieces. Add the warm lentil mixture and the vegetable mixture and pulse until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. Form into four 4-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the tahini, 2 tablespoons water and the hot sauce, thinning with more water, if needed. Season with salt and more hot sauce to taste.
  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the burgers with olive oil on both sides. Grill until well marked, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the pitas until warmed. Serve the burgers in the pitas with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and the tahini sauce.

LENTIL BLACK RICE VEGGIE BURGERS



Lentil Black Rice Veggie Burgers image

I finally posted the concoction! :D And it came out pretty awesome. Better yet, I did this without a food processor. You need 1 cup of veggies, your choice, I did it with the traditional veggie burger fare and they're also what I had on hand that I like. Either way, the veggies must be very, very finely diced/shredded unless you use something naturally small like peas and corn. I used regular brown lentils, but red lentils, Indian lentils, or a varietal mix would probably be great. Black rice is found in most Asian grocery stores. These veggie burgers are time-consuming to make, but well worth it for the rich and nutty taste, creamy gooey texture, and the spicy kick that sneaks up on you. You can probably use a food processor too, but I didn't feel like cleaning it-- so I guess just pulse a few minutes until just about completely pureed.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 burgers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 cups water (divided into 2 cups each)
1 cup lentils (DO NOT SOAK AHEAD OF TIME!)
1 cup black rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 cloves, mashed and minced but I use the liquidy stuff)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or sea salt)
2 teaspoons tahini
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon mustard (dry powdered mustard, not wet)
1 dash oregano
1/4 cup peas
1/4 cup carrot
1/4 cup broccoli (I used the very fine chopped broccoli from the freezer section, florets are too big)
1/4 cup corn
1/2 cup flour

Steps:

  • Be ready for some simultaneous burner action! Get two saucepans ready with the 4 cups of water, 2 cups in each.
  • Put the 1/4 tsp table salt in the one that you're going to cook the rice inches.
  • Put the rice in the boiling salted water, and stir in 1 tbsp olive oil. Mix it up perfectly then cover.
  • In the other pot, put the lentils inches.
  • Cover both pots, and set the timer for 20 minutes.
  • You're going to leave the rice alone until the time's up-- but check on the lentils and stir them every 5 minutes, covering when done.
  • When the time's up, drain the lentils about halfway. Put them in a large mixing bowl.
  • For the rice, turn the burner off and let it sit there for a few minutes.
  • Drain and rinse the rice-- now, you're going to see a lot of purple/black liquid come out. Don't be alarmed, this is natural from black rice, not a manufactured dye or anything.
  • Put the rice in with the lentils, and mix the bowl up.
  • With a potato masher, mash up the contents as best as you can- mash and stir constantly, and get most of it mashed up really well but leave a lot of whole pieces of rice and lentil in there for texture.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, kosher salt, and tahini until perfectly melded.
  • Add the 3/4 cup flour and stir together, the mixture should be stickier now.
  • Add the dry seasoning ingredients to the mixture and blend together.
  • Put the veggies into the mixture and mix up.
  • Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour into the bowl and mix it up, so it's thick and pasty now.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, and while it's doing that preheat the oven to 350 and make sure the rack is in the center.
  • With your hands, form patties about 4-5" and put directly onto a cookie/baking sheet greased with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. (This part took me twice as long because I only had room for 6 patties with my convection oven.).
