The challenge that most run into when it comes to making homemade veggie burger patties is that they tend to quickly fall apart. The great thing about these burgers is that they hold together surprisingly well. They are hearty, flavorful, and go well with barbecue sauce or any of your other favorite burger toppings. If you don't own a barbecue, they can be cooked in a pan on the stove-top for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients You Need for Hearty Lentil and Brown Rice Burger [Vegan]

  • 1/2 cup dried green lentils, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

How to Prepare Hearty Lentil and Brown Rice Burger [Vegan]

  1. Combine the lentils, brown rice, onion, carrot, garlic, cumin, sage, and salt in a medium-size saucepan. Add the water and vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil then reduce the heat and boil gently until the rice and lentils are tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
  2. Drain in a colander to remove any excess liquid. Let cool slightly, then process in a food processor with a steel blade until you have a fairly smooth texture. Form into six burger patties.
  3. Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill with a lightly oiled vegetable rack in place.
  4. Mist both sides of the burgers with nonstick spray. Grill the burgers until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Serve in a bun with your favorite toppings.

  1. This recipe is a joke. Followed it to the letter, and while the patties were tough to form, i wasn\’t surprised, most are. But the minute i got them on the grill they just fell through and didn\’t hold together for shit. That and the fact that after the recommended flip time, another 2 of my patties just fell apart and into the flames. Awful. Awful instructions. I bet they taste great but the claim they are grillable and hold together is bogus. Bake them in an oven.
