Ingredients:

3/4	cup	Dry lentils
1 1/2	cup	Water
2	tsp	Cider vinegar
1	tbsp	Margarine
1	cup	Onion, finely minced
2		Garlic cloves, crushed
10	large	Mushrooms, minced
1/2	cup	Walnuts, finely minced
1	small	Celery stalk, finely minced
1	tsp	Salt
		Freshly ground black pepper
1/2	tsp	Dry mustard
1	tbsp	Dry sherry
1/2	cup	Raw wheat germ

Procedures:

1	This takes about 40 minutes to prepare: you can do "part 1" while "part 2" is cooking, plus about 1 hour to chill, then 15 minutes to cook.
2	Makes between 4 to 6 servings, depending on the size of patties you make and the hunger of participants.
3	Note: uncooked burgers may be individually wrapped and frozen.
4	Part 1: bring lentils and water to a boil in saucepan.
5	Lower the heat, and simmer, partly-covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are soft, and liquid is gone.
6	Place in large-ish bowl.
7	Add vinegar, and mash.
8	Part 2: saute remaining ingredients, except for wheat germ, together over medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes, or until all is tender.
9	Add to the mashed lentils, and mix well.
10	Add wheat germ and mix again.
11	Chill for about 1 hour.
12	The burgers: Make 4-inch patties from chilled burger-mixture.
13	For freezing, make patties, place wax paper between each patty and stack; wrap well and freeze (or wrap individually).
14	Fry burgers in butter until brown, or broil about 8 minutes on each side.
15	Try putting sesame seeds in pan to keep burgers from sticking to pan, if it is a problem.
16	Serve either as patties, or as burgers in a whole-wheat bun.
17	Good with cheese melted on top, basil sprinkled on each burger is tasty also.
