This is enough to make four patties.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boil a pan of salted water (will be used in two places)<\/li>\n
  2. Put 3 TBL Bulgar wheat into a coffee cup, and cover with water (plus 1 inch)<\/li>\n
  3. Put 3 TBL brown or orange lentils into the pan of boiling water and let simmer for 25 minutes (They will be mushy and overcooked a bit, but that is what you want)<\/li>\n
  4. Grate 1\/4 C onion and 1\/2 stalk of celery<\/li>\n
  5. Soften in a skillet with 1 TBL EVOO<\/li>\n
  6. Add 2 cloves chopped garlic and cook two minutes, then set all aside<\/li>\n
  7. Add 1 TBL EVOO and 1 TBL butter to the empty pan<\/li>\n
  8. Add 1 C pieced Shitake mushrooms and saute till well done<\/li>\n
  9. If you have left-over rice, add 2 TBL of your rice (preferably brown)<\/li>\n
  10. To a food processor, add the mushrooms, drained lentils and Bulgar wheat, onion mixture and 4-5 crushed cashews – and pulse until somewhat chopped<\/li>\n
  11. OPTIONAL:  Prepare your mayonnaise :: Beat 1 egg yolk with 1 TBL of water and 1 TBL dry instant milk :: drizzle in 3 TBL safflower oil or EVOO, whisking continually OR you can use Kraft Miracle Whip<\/li>\n
  12. Add 6 TBL (or 1\/4 C plus 2 TBL) (or 3\/8 C) Miracle Whip  or your scratch mayonnaise<\/li>\n
  13. OPTIONAL:  Add a bit of garlic powder and\/or a few drops of liquid smoke<\/li>\n
  14. Add 1\/4 C Panko bread crumbs and 1\/4 C raw oatmeal and pulse until well mixed<\/li>\n
  15. Divide “meat” into four sections and make patties :: You can use a large jar lid lined with plastic wrap to help form perfect patties or large muffin rings<\/li>\n
  16. Brush the top with melted butter, then turn out onto a large plate in a single layer<\/li>\n
  17. Brush the other side with melted butter<\/li>\n
  18. Refrigerate until ready to cook<\/li>\n
  19. Cook just as you would a hamburger<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
