Barb's Veggie Burgers

"I started making my own veggie burgers after getting "sticker shock" at the grocery store over the cost of meat. This recipe was developed using ideas from other veggie burger recipes as well as incorporating a few of my own. If you try this recipe, PLEASE review it! I'd love to hear feedback from those who made it as written as well as from those who changed it and have new ideas. We can make it a veggie burger forum!"

directions

  • Put the lentils and barley in a saucepan with cold water to cover by about 2 inches.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • Drain, and pour into a bowl to cool.
  • Meanwhile, saute onion, garlic, grated carrot, and grated zucchini in olive oil till tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook quick oats according to package directions.
  • Combine lentil-barley mixture, vegetables, cooked oatmeal, and remaining ingredients.
  • Scoop using 1/2 cup measuring cup, and place on baking sheet. (I use the quick-release foil to line the baking sheets).
  • Shape into patties. (The mixture will be mushy.).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • After the patties are baked, they can be frozen, fried like a regular hamburger, or baked to complete the cooking. (I have not tried to BBQ them, though.).
  • Serve on buns with favorite toppings.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I moved to Tennessee from Pennsylvania in 2005. We absolutely love it here, especially being near the Smoky Mountains. My kids are grown and are out of the house. I am a nurse practitioner, work for Evercare, a division of United Healthcare, caring for elderly patients in nursing homes. My husband and I love the outdoors, and we especially enjoy hiking in the Smoky Mountains. I also enjoy doing Jazzercise as often as I can get there. We have 2 spoiled rotten kitties, Elizabeth and Harvey, and an equally spoiled rotten yellow lab, Hayley.
