1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (125 mL) long-grain rice
2 tsp (10 mL) mild curry paste
1-1/4 cups (300 mL) vegetable stock
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
1/2 cup (125 mL) ground almonds
1 can (19 oz/540 mL) lentils, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime or lemon juice
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
Coriander Yogurt:
1/2 cup (125 mL) plain yogurt
1/4 cup (50 mL) 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, purée 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.
