Curry Spiced Lentil Burgers and review of The Plant Based Diet Meal Plan

I’ve partnered with Rockbridge Press to bring y’all these Curry Spiced Lentil Burgers and review of The Plant Based Diet Meal Plan cookbook.
All opinions herein are mine. Thank you so much for supporting the brands that keep this Blog Spinning!

While my vegetarian years are behind me and I am not on a plant based diet currently, my daughter and I do embark on “Vegetarian Days.” When I was introduced to The Plant Based Diet Meal Plan cookbook, I figured I would give a few of the recipes a try on some of our vegetarian days.

This past Saturday, I chose to make these Curry Spiced Lentil Burgers and duplicated the recipe exactly except for adding in some ginger (what Windex was to Gus Portokalos, ginger has become to me). I also changed the quantity of flour – I only added a half cup of rice flour while the recipe suggested 3/4 cup. As the flour was a binding agent and I added less of it, my patties were a tad bit crumbly. But, they sure were easy to make and enjoy along with some Three Bean Curry (recipe will be coming up on the 23rd of May). On our upcoming vegetarian days I hope to try out the Black Bean Taco Salad Bowl, the Chocolate Quinoa Bowl and the Sweet Potato Patties!

A simple and easy, wholesome recipe from The Plant Based Diet Meal Plan Cookbook by Heather Nicholds.

Ingredients

• 1 cup lentil
• 3 carrots grated
• 1 small onion diced
• 2 tsps ginger grated
• 1/2 cup rice flour
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper

Instructions

• Place the lentils in a medium pot with the water and bring to a boil. Then, turn down and simmer for about 30 minutes until lentils are soft.
• While the lentils are boiling, add the carrots, onion, curry powder, rice flour, ginger, salt and pepper into a bowl and mix.
• When lentils have cooked, add them to the bowl with the carrots and flour mixture and, using A potato masher or your hands, mix well. 
• Scoop up handfuls or 1/4 cup portions and form into patties.
• You can bake these patties at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or pan fry them for about 10 minutes on each side. I pan fried them for about 5 minutes on each side and then popped them into a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.
• Serve with hot sauce or ketchup of your choice.
