- Place in large-ish bowl. Add in vinegar, and mash. Part 2: Saute/fry remaining ingredients, except for wheat germ, together over medium-low heat 10 to 15 min, or possibly till all is tender. Add in to the mashed lentils, and mix well.
- Add in wheat germ and mix again. Refrigeratefor about 1 hour. The Burgers:
- 1. Make 4-inch patties from chilled burger-mix. For freezing, make patties, place wax paper between each patty and stack; wrap well and freeze (or possibly wrap individually).
- 2. Fry burgers in butter till brown,*or possibly* broil about 8 min on each side. Try putting sesame seeds in pan to keep burgers from sticking to pan if it is a problem.
- 3. Serve either as patties, or possibly as burgers in a whole-wheat bun. Good with cheese melted on top, basil sprinkled on each burger is tasty also.
