The recipe I … [read more]  These lentil burgers are really easy to make and they’re quite tasty too! I have to be honest with you and tell you that they’re on the dry side, but if you add on some toppings like mayonnaise, ranch dressing, lettuce, and tomato, you won’t notice the dryness. We topped our lentil burgers with ajvar. … [read more]  Hummus is my favorite way to eat chickpeas; it’s also Kemal’s favorite chickpea dish as well.
