Even meat lovers won't miss the meat in these aromatic veggie burgers. Rice and lentils combine to make a complete protein, and the coriander yogurt is a refreshing topping. Try using basmati rice for a true South Asian flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 tsp mild curry paste
  • 1-1/4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
  • 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
  • Coriander Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander

Preparation

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add rice and curry paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in stock, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Gently scrape into large bowl; let cool.

Meanwhile, in skillet, toast ground almonds over medium heat, stirring often, until almonds are golden, about 5 minutes. Add to rice.

In food processor, pur?lentils with lime juice until smooth. Stir into rice mixture. Shape into four 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes.

Coriander Yogurt:
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir yogurt with coriander.

Cut buns in half; place, cut sides down, on grill and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread coriander yogurt over cut sides. Place burgers on bottoms; sandwich with tops.
