Great Food: Episode 9

This week, Nate and I had to channel our inner vegetarian for:

Lentil and Walnut Burgers with Yogurt and Cilantro Sauce.

Now, I am pretty sure I can see my Dad rolling his eyes right now and shaking his head. BUT, Nate and I were so surprised at how much the 'burgers' looked, and tasted like real burgers. For having zero meat, the consistency was pretty good.

We spiced ours up a little with some extra red peppers flakes. The Yogurt/Cilantro Sauce made the meal though. It was so delicious.

We also made a side dish: Sauteed Summer Vegetables. Very creatively named--I know, but take it up with Martha. It was good, nothing fancy, super simple and very fresh tasting. You literally take whatever veggies you like, sautee in a tablespoon of olive oil, and throw in two crush full cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper them. It is nice for when you forget to get those veggies marinating for the grill!


Here is the professional take:




















And of course, here is our take...notice the WAY oversized hamburger bun..hehehe

i have to say, the thought of a veggie burger used to make me throw up a little bit in my mouth... but then i had this black bean burger in green bay, at a restaurant called "kavarna" (or something...) and it was SOOO GOOOD! this looks good, too.

There needs to be a rule if "burger" is in the title or name then something needs to have a mother that makes up said burger. Seeds don't cut it! Did you two hug a tree too?
