1-1/2 cup cooked brown lentils
3/4 cup cooked basmati rice
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 inch ginger, minced
1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon basil leaves
2 teaspoons barbecue sauce

Boil the brown lentils and the rice until they are tender and transfer to a bowl.

Cook the onion, garlic, and ginger in the oil and set aside.

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are a coarse powder. Add the cilantro, cooked onions, spices, and a quarter of the lentils and rice. Pulse until they form a dough.

Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the lentils and rice with the barbecue sauce, egg replacer, breadcrumbs, and some salt. Stir until combined and shape into patties.

Cook the patties on 3 minutes per side and serve with buns and toppings of choice.
