I DO reply emails...

Just veryy...slowly... .....at my tortoise pace. *laughs*

Your email requests and suggestions don't get thrown out as junk guys. I appreciate every single one of them. It's just hard sometimes to waddle through all of them right away. This one came in last OCTober...*i know..i know...I'm slack* I admit. *heee*
I'm not a fan of vegetarian meals. I've only had ONE vege burger all my life..and I admit; I pulled this recipe out of no where!~ *Laughs* I surprised myself when it tasted SOOoo much better than the vege burger I remember. I would make it again...definitely!

1/2 cup dry lentils +1 tsp salt

Cook lentils in 1 cup water in a small pot over small flames. Stir occasionally for 30-40 minutes until lentils turn 'pulpy'. Drain liquid wit a strainer. Set aside

3/4 cups breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 tbsp chili flakes
2 tbsp lea+perrins sauce
1 small carrot grated
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 small onion sliced into thin rings
salt and pepper to taste

Saute onions, carrot and garlic in a tiny swirl of olive oil till fragrant and cooked through. Add lentils and all other ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Form mixture into 3 large balls with your palm. Flatten them slightly and pan fry on a non stick pan till brown and crisp on both sides.

Here are some tasty ideas to go with your vege burger patty;

• Grilled eggplant slices (lightly salted with some seasalt)
• Pan fried haloumi cheese slices (THIS IS A MUST!!! it's just SOOo good in burgers)
• The usual greens + sliced tomatoes + etc
• Use GOOD bread. My fav's are sourdough and turkish breads.
  
• Grilled capsicum slices
• mini omelettes or bulls eyes?
• mayo; mustard

Pile it UP!~ *licks lips*
