Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces Green lentils
3 Medium sized carrots
3 slices Bread
1 Onion
1 Clove garlic
1 ounce Or so parsley (could be
Omitted -- or you could use
Cilantro)
1 Egg
Seasoning to taste
Little wholemeal flour to
Coat (may not be necessary)

Boil lentils for 20 minutes in water, drain, and mash gently - not too
hard, as you want some of them to stay whole.

While they are cooking, peel and grate the carrots, make the bread into
crumbs, and finely chop the onion, parsley and garlic. Mix these and the
seasoning with the mashed lentils, and bind together with egg.

Form into burgers or rissoles or whatever you call the things, coat with
flour - I still don't know if this is necessary - and cook under the grill
(broiler) for 5 minutes each side.

I served this with brown rice, a tomato sauce* and green salad, but I'm
sure they would be nice in buns with relish.

*Tomato sauce made like this: 1 onion 1 clove garlic 1 tbs tomato puree
(paste) 1 tin tomatoes A little extra water Seasoning.
Microwave onion and garlic for about 3 minutes; transfer to saucepan with
the tomato puree, stir, add tinned tomatoes and a little water, season.
bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. If it's a bit liquid,
boil harder to reduce - get it to the sort of consistency you would like,
bearing in mind you have brown rice to moisten!
