Recipe - Kirmizi Mercimek Koftesi (Red Lentil Burgers)

1 cup Red lentils
1 One half cup Hot water
1 Vegetable bouillion cube
One fourth cup Fresh; chopped parsley
3 Cloves garlic; minced
1 lg Onion; finely minced
1 tablespoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper
Corn flour for binding
Cooking spray or oil

Boil the lentils with the bouillion and water. When the lentils are cooked,
all the water should be absorbed. If the lentils are watery, let them sit
to absorb the rest of the moisture. When the lentils are cooked and
relatively cooled, add the parsley, garlic, onion, and spices. If the
mixture is watery, add some corn flour to bind the ingredients. Shape the
lentils into patties and broil in oven or fry in skillet. Garnish the
lentil 'kofte' like you would a burger.
