Lentil Burgers
(Makes 8 burgers)

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup short-grain brown rice
1/2 cup lentils
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 small carrot
1 medium-sized celery stalk
2 teaspoons stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
vegetable-oil spray, for skillet

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine onion, rice, lentils, salt, and water. Bring to a slow simmer, then cover and cook for about 50 minutes, or until rice and lentils are tender and all the water has been absorbed.

Chop carrot and celery until fine (a food processor makes this easy). Add them to the hot lentil mixture, along with the remaining ingredients. Stir to mix, then chill completely. (You can make the patties while the mixture is still warm, but forming is much easier once it is chilled.)

Form mixture into 2- to 3-inch patties. Lightly coat a large, nonstick skillet with vegetable-oil spray. Cook patties over medium heat for about 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
