Lentil Rice Patties

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice

1/4 cup dried lentils, sorted and rinsed

1 1/2 cups water

2 T finely chopped cashews, almonds, or peanuts (I use almonds)

2 T bread crumbs (I used oats instead)

2 T stir-fry sauce (I use liquid aminos, can find it at any grocery store)

4 medium green onions, or 1/4 c chopped onion

1 egg or egg white

In a saucepan heat rice, lentils and 1 1/2 c water to boiling. Reduce heat to low-cover; simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and water is absorbed. Cool slightly. Mash with a fork. Stir in remaining ingredients. Shape into 4 patties-about 1/2 inch thick. Cook patties in skillet until each side is golden brown-this takes a little while.
