- 236.59 ml lentils, picked through and rinsed

- 44.37 ml olive oil

- 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.

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.
