- 1 1⁄4 cups cooked brown rice, cooled
- 1 cup cooked lentils, cooled
- 1 cup beet, peeled and shredded
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground fennel

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup fine dry breadcrumb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 whole wheat buns, toasted

directions
- In a food processor, pulse rice, lentils and beets for about a minute or until the mixture resembles ground meat. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, thyme, fennel, mustard, onion, garlic, egg and bread crumbs. Mix with your hands to incorporate. Refrigerate until well chilled, for one to four hours.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Using 1/2 cup for each, form rice mixture into patties.
- Pour a little oil into skillet. Add patties to pan. Cook until charred on the edges and heated through, turning a few times, about 12 minutes total. (Burgers can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, or frozen up to three months. Rewarm in a skillet before serving.).
- Serve burgers on toasted buns with condiments of choice.
