SPICED LENTIL-BROWN RICE BURGERS

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

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.).

EASY ONE POT LENTILS AND RICE

Steps:

• Cover the lentils with the water.
• Peel and crush the garlic cloves lightly with the back of a knife. Leave the cloves whole, so that they flavor the dish but can be removed if desired. (I leave them out of the kids' portions, and give them to my DH and myself).
• Add garlic to the pot, along with the bay leaves, cumin seeds and cinnamon. (DO NOT add salt at this point, as lentils will not cook properly).
• Bring to a boil. Cook at a boil until the lentils are just tender. This should take about 25 minutes, but may take longer dependig on the age of your lentils.
• Add the rice, salt and olive oil, and bring back to a boil.
• Stir, cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Check to make sure the rice is done, adjust seasonings, and serve. If there is still too much liquid in the pan, just let it sit uncovered for a few minutes.
• Enjoy!
