 Categories: Vegetarian, Lentils, Burger, Boat, D/g
      Yield: 5 patties
 
    2/3 c  Lentils, dried
    1/3 c  Carrot, shredded
  1 3/4 c  Water
    1/2 c  Celery; finely chopped
      1 md Onion; finely chopped
      1 ts Garlic; finely chopped
    1/3 c  Bulgur, uncooked
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Chili powder
    1/8 ts Pepper
      1 ts Soy sauce
    1/2 c  Bread crumbs
 
  In 2 quart saucepan combine lentils, carrot, water, celery, onion and
  garlic.  Cook over high heat until mixture comes to a full boil (4-5
  min) Reduce heat to medium.  Cover, continue cooking 10 minutes.
  Stir in bulgur.  Cover, continue cooking, stirring occasionally until
  lentils and bulgur are tender and liquid is absorbed (10 - 15 min)
  Stir in salt, chili powder, ground pepper and soy sauce; mix well,
  mashing lentils *slightly*.  Place in medium bowl; stir in bread
  crumbs.  Let stand 20 minutes until it cools down, stir again.
  
  Form mixture into 5 or 6  1/2 inch thick patties.
  
  Spray skillet with non stick cooking spray (do not use oil or butter)
  heat over medium high heat until hot.  Reduce heat to medium, add 3
  patties.  Cook turning once until golden brown and heated through (4-6
  minutes)  Repeat with remaining patties.  As Patties are browned,
  remove and place on rack while cooking others.
  
  NOTE:  Patties appear fragile at first, but they do "stiffen" if they
  stand for a few minutes.  Freeze well, defrost before warming again.
