I use my rice cooker for this.
Rinse 3 1/2 c. lentils
and 1/2 c. rice
Place in rice cooker with 7 cups of water (I find that brown rice and lentils take more water or they end up hard)
When the lentils and rice are done, place them into a very large bowl.
With a stick blender blend and moosh the lentils. This doesn't have to be completely mashed.
Add 1 c. chopped walnuts
4 eggs
2 t. oregano
2 t. cumin
12 -15 chopped cloves of garlic
2 onions (diced)
2 c. wheat germ (I use freshly ground wheat flour)
4 T. olive oil
salt
pepper
Mix well. Form into burgers and fry in olive oil for 3-4 min on each side. This makes about 30-32 burgers. I fry what I need for the meal and make the rest into burgers. Layer on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper. Place in freezer for a few hours. When frozen, place into a freezer zip lock bag. Then you can take out how many you need when you need them. My kids love these. Me too.
A frugal meal.
