These lentil patties are so tasty and simple to make. Canned lentils and pre-cooked brown rice makes them quick to make too.
My kids love them. They’re perfect for a summer barbecue, for the freezer, or in a burger.
You will need to pre-cook your rice in preparation for this dish. I like to keep some cooked brown rice in the freezer so I can make these burgers any time.
