Millet and Lentil Veggie Burgers


So I am falling into a trend that when Chris leaves for work I get really into cooking. When he is home, I get too distracted to want to make anything fun. It should be the other way around and hopefully next time he is back I will get creative juices flowing!

Today I made homemade veggie burgers using:

-Millet
-Orange and Green Lentils
(prepare these in advance until tender, as you would quinoa or rice)
-Chopped Green Onion
-Chopped Basil
-Tofu
-Black Beans
-Chopped Carrots
-Chopped Mushrooms

I always estimate amounts based on what vegetables I like more, feel free to add or remove any vegetables depending on your own taste!

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix with garlic, salt, pepper, turmeric, siracha, and garlic powder to taste.

Then place all ingredients in a blender until it is blended together (doesn't have to be finely blended).

Form into burger patties and bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Then lightly brown sides using a frying pan. Add what you usually would to your burger and enjoy. This burger has a mixture of vegetables, carbs, and protein...the perfect combination :)
