Quinoa and Red Lentil BurgersHannah Kaminsky

Quinoa and red lentils cook in the same amount of time, right in the same saucepan, making these burgers super convenient.

Cooks' Note

Serving Suggestions: These burgers are tasty enough to stand on their own, but consider any two or three of the following embellishments—whether or not you're serving them on bread:
Lettuce leaves, baby spinach or arugula, or baby kale (raw or barely wilted)
Roasted red peppers
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced red onions
Green sprouts
Peeled and sliced avocado
Tartar sauce, or ketchup and mustard

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
