Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 c Dried red lentils
-Water, to cook
1 c Bread crumbs
- (preferably wholewheat)
1 lg Onion; finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves; minced
- more to taste
Salt pepper to taste

Wash lentils thoroughly pick out any sticks stones grit which
might get in them. In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling
boil. Add lentils cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils start to
puree. Drain let cool. It is not necessary to let them get cold.

Transfer the cooked lentils to a large mixing bowl.
Add bread crumbs, garlic onion mix thoroughly. Season well.

You then can experiment with herbs spices. I usually add loads of
cajun spice, with healthy measures of parsley, basil majoram. You
could try thyme or sage. It is your choice.

If the mixture does not hold together well enough, add more bread
crumbs. Form into patties then cook as you would a regular
hamburger in a little oil. Or barbecue. If they are really dry, then
they hold together well enough to barbecue.

Serve in buns with old fashioned dijon mustard chips ooops, errrr
fries.
