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.

CURRIED LENTIL, RICE AND CARROT BURGERS
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.

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.
- Heat the ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and, working in batches if necessary, cook the patties for 2 minutes on one side, or until nicely browned. Carefully turn the patties over and place in the oven. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned and don't fall apart. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, chutney or ketchup and the works.

Tips:
- Soak the lentils: Soaking the lentils before cooking helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. You can soak them for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to chop the vegetables and lentils for the burgers. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Shape the burgers: Use a burger press or your hands to shape the burgers. Make sure they are about 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches wide. If the burgers are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers: You can cook the burgers in a skillet over medium heat, on a grill, or in the oven. If you are cooking them in a skillet, add a little oil to the pan to prevent them from sticking.
- Serve the burgers: Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.
Conclusion:
Brown rice and lentil burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients. They are also easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat-eater, you are sure to enjoy these burgers.
