Delicious! I read the reviews about the patties not holding together before I prepared them. By scooping the mixture into a 1/3 cup measure it was easy to flatten them gently into a patty that held together. I will definitely make these again! Pros: Tasty and very filling. My husband added ketchup but I felt it didn't need it. Cons: A bit time consuming to prepare for lunch. I would follow the make ahead instructions next time.
Supper sandwiches I make these in a loaf pan like a meatloaf. Then I slice them into slices for sandwiches. They stay together much better that way.
I really enjoyed these burgers. They are easy to make. I did add a little extra seasoning and a clove of garlic to kick up the flavor a notch. They really are filling and satisying.
Horrible.... These were horrible. The patties didn't stay together at all and we felt like we were chewing on sand. The mixture was also flavorless. Will never make again.
Bleh. The almonds and lentils are great together. I added extra herbs fresh garlic and a bit of cayenne pepper. But just like the other reviews they fell apart. I don't think chilling them longer is going to do the trick ( I chilled for 3 hrs). They need more of a binder- add a few more eggs bread crumbs or quinoa. -Meh. One day I will find the perfect veggie burger recipe. I guess it's not today.
My favorite veggie burger recipe Best flavor/texture of any veggie burger I've made. If you're having the problem of the burgers not holding together when you cook them YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU'VE CHILLED THE INGREDIENTS FIRST. This is a tip I learned from an Israeli friend who taught me how to make falafel. Chilling the mix in the fridge is an essential step to bind ingredients together. I've made these many times and never had a problem. I always make extras and freeze them in a Ziploc bag. That's my kind of fast food.
The cooking time for the brown and green lentils is difference in the recipe and the note. I have not tried it yet but would like to. I have some brown lentils and want to try the green ones in my quest for different dishes!
too many pans to clean I like the taste of these I added a little lemon zest. But they didn't stick together and the clean up was more than I like to do. Pros: tasty Cons: didn't hold together
I made the mixure the day before and cooked the patties in the morning so I could pack lunches. I tasted the mixture before forming it into patties to check seasoning and it is fabulous. The finished patties where even better. My husband said is was really good and this is coming from a man who thinks its not a meal unless there is a hunk of meat on the table. Great recipe.
