Every day healthy eating is more popular among citizens. If we also want to join them, we must bear in mind that there are foods that we must include more frequently in our diet, such as rice and legumes. To avoid always preparing the same recipes, we propose you to prepare some brown rice and lentil burgers, healthy and suitable for vegetarians.
Hamburgers are a very popular dish all over the world, since they allow us to experiment in the kitchen by mixing different ingredients and combining them with other products such as vegetables or cheese. Likewise, we can prepare a large number of them and freeze them to have an easy and quick meal whenever we want. Follow us and gather the ingredients to learn how to cook these veggie burgers. Let’s do it!
Ingredients to make Lentil and Rice Burgers:
- 2 cups of cooked lentils
- 2 cups of cooked brown rice
- 4 teaspoons of whole meal flour
- 1 white onion
- 1 Carrot
- 1 pinch of garlic paste
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
- 1 egg
How to make Lentil and Rice Burgers:
1.Before starting to make the recipe for healthy hamburgers, you must prepare all the ingredients.
2.Transfer cooked brown rice and cooked lentils to a food processor or blender. Process until a unified dough is achieved.
Tip: To cook both the rice and the lentils, follow the instructions on the package.
3.Take the preparation of the previous step to a deep bowl; add the grated white onion and the white onion.
4.Add the whole meal flour, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper and garlic paste to taste. Mix the ingredients well and watch how thick dough forms.
5.Add the egg to the veggie burger batter to help compact it more when cooking. If you are vegan you can add a tablespoon of hydrated chia seeds to replace the egg.
6.With your hands, form the lentil and rice patties. Ideally, they should be compact, as seen in the photograph.
7.Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil, add the veggie burgers one by one and brown them on each side. When turning them over, she does it with a shovel and in one fell swoop so they don’t fall apart.
8.Remove the lentil and brown rice burgers from the heat and they are ready to eat.
9.Prepare the lentil and rice burgers with hamburger buns, cheese, tomato, sauce and, if you wish, lettuce and onion. You will see that they are hamburgers that have a lot of flavor and that both vegetarians and vegans can enjoy if they replace the egg and buy bread suitable for them. In addition, they are a much healthier option.
