Homemade Mushroom Lentil Burger

 Vegan Burger Recipes – by Merle O'Neal, YouTube

I followed the recipe below to a tee except my mix became too liquid too quickly since I have a blender not a food processor handy. So I added 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour. It worked. The patties formed nicely once the g-free flour was added.  There were no baking instructions in the print version of the recipe, so I baked at 345 degrees for 30 minutes, flipped the patties for ten more minutes. The next time I’ll try 15 minutes, then flip for 15 minutes more.

MUSHROOM LENTIL BURGER

1 tablespoon chia seeds

3 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons olive oil,

Divided 8 oz mushrooms finely chopped

1 tablespoon soy sauce

½ tsp turmeric

½ tsp cumin

1 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 small onion

Diced 2 cloves garlic minced

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

1 ½ cups lentils

Cooked 1 cup oats

Added: 1/1/2 cup of gluten free flour

Mix together in a food processor or blender and then form patties on a baking tray. Baking directions above.

Verdict:  A little bit of an improvement on veggie burger products because the ingredients are fresh. The flour didn’t make it taste baked. I won’t dwell on the accompanying Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free English Muffin.

I was already familiar with the new identity actor Andrew McCarthy, of Brat Pack fame, had forged as a travel writer, having read a little of his work.   This book is a chronicle of McCarthy’s second Camino de Santiago journey, this time with his late-adolescent son, Sam. There are strengths and weaknesses to this book. It takes one to know one, but McCarthy comes across as a real navel gazer. What’s more, his son comes across as at times monosyllabic, somewhat childish and Tik Tok addled – but that seems real.   They did not eat well…and this is Spain. That’s the bad. What’s good is that McCarthy’s passion for travel shines through. His interest in the storied history of the location is genuine. He’s good at describing it. He’s good at ...
