This recipe takes the leftovers from my Indian Spiced Lentil recipe and turns it into delicious veggie burgers. 2 meals out of one big crockpot of healthy goodness. I like to top min off with a garlicky yogurt sauce - so good!!!
Happy Cooking!

Lentil and Brown Rice Veggie Burgers
1 1/2 cups of leftover Indian Spiced Crockpot Lentils (recipe here: http://deliciouslydomesticdining.blogspot.com/2016/09/crockpot-indian-curried-lentils.html)
3/4 cup of leftover cooked brown rice
1/3 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil, for cooking
Garlicky Yogurt Sauce
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
To make the sauce, combine all ingredients and allow the sauce to sit for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Now to make the burgers. Take half of the lentils and mash them with a potato masher. Then add the other ingredients and mix well until combined.
Form into 4 patties. (If you like your burgers a bit drier, you may want to add more rice). Chill in the fridge for an hour or freezer for 30 minutes.
Heat 1 T of olive oil over medium in a frying pan. Cooke for 3-5 minutes on each side to get a little crust on it.
Flip and do the same to the other side.
Serve with the garlicky yogurt sauce along side a salad or roasted broccoli. Yum!! Enjoy!
