- Place the lentils, chickpeas, onion, garlic, eggs, oats, chili powder, paprika and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the consistency of thick, chunky hummus. Don't over do it.
- Stir the grated carrot into the mixture.
- With floured hands, form the mixture into patties using 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time. Lightly coat the patties with flour and gently brush off any excess.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for 5 minutes on each side, until crispy on the top and bottom.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
