Lentil Burgers
"I had the BEST lentil burger in Perth, Australia at a little joint called "Albert's kitchen." After my trip, I was on a hunt for a recipe that comes close. I believe this is the one. Not as good as the original but will have to do. Anyone that is in Perth, I highly recommend Albert's Kitchen in Guilford, on your way to Swan Valley. They have regular burgers too. - Which my hubby says is out of this world! :)"
