Lentil & Almond Burgers

From EatingWell: June/July 2005, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

These vegetarian burgers are just the thing for a summery picnic, on buns or on their own with sliced tomatoes and relish. Or try them with roasted potatoes and roasted broccoli. Use a wide spatula to flip the delicate patties.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I thought these turned out great--but with one huge catch. They didn't hold together. At all. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but that is my only complaint about them. Flavor-wise, they were great, and I would give this recipe 5...

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.

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.

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

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!
