    1/2 c  Lentils -- cooked
      1 sm Sweet potato; peeled,cooked

  Combine rice, lentils, sweet potato, spinach and
  mushrooms in a large bowl. Add soy sauce, salt and
  pepper. Add bread crumbs and cilantro and mix well.
  Refrigerate for 15 to 39 minutes. Form mixture into 6
  to 8 patties. Oil a vegetable grill generously--these
  patties tend to stick. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on
  each side, until medium brown. Makes 6 to 8 patties.
  Variation: Instead of burgers, form mixture into small
  balls. Grill until browned. Serve as a snack with a
  dipping sauce or add to pasta with your favorite
  sauce.
