Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup lentils -- rinsed and drained
3 cups water
1 tsp. curry powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. olive oil
1/4 cup carrot -- chopped fine
2 cloves garlic -- chopped
1 large onion -- chopped
1 1/2 cups whole grain bread crumbs
2 T. wheat flour
2 T. tomato paste mixed w/1 T. soy sauce

Rinse lentils and add to water. Bring to boil, reduce heat, add curry
powder, salt, coriander and cumin. Cover pan and cook for 35 to 45
minutes until tender. Set aside with lid on. Heat in a skillet and saute
the olive oil, carrot, garlic and onion. Lentils should absorb the
remaining liquid; if not, drain. Mash lentils, mix with sauteed
vegetables and bread crumbs (crumbs can be made by putting broken pieces
of bread into a blender and blend a few seconds). Mix in flour and tomato
paste/soy sauce. Form into balls and flatten into patties. Place on oiled
baking sheet and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes. Turn over and bake
20 minutes more. Makes 12 patties.
