Level: Easy
Serves: 7
Ingredients
- FOR THE BURGER PATTIES:
- 1 cup Uncooked brown/green lentils
- 3 cups Water
- 1 whole Carrot
- ½ whole Red onion
- ⅔ cups Breadcrumbs
- ⅔ cups Oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon Soya sauce
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- FOR THE BURGERS:
- 7 whole hamburger buns
- 2 whole Tomatoes
- 1 whole purple onion
- 7 sheets Lettuce
- 7 slices vegan cheese
Preparation
Add the lentils, water and salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 45 minutes or until no water remains.
While the lentils cook, prepare a large mixing bowl and add the breadcrumbs and oatmeal. Stir well and set aside.
In a large saucepan, add olive oil, diced carrots, onion and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Once cooked, transfer it to the bowl with the dry ingredients (breadcrumbs and lentils). Mix everything well and set aside.
When the lentils are cooked, transfer 2/3 of the cooked lentils to the food processor and pulse several times until they become a puree. Then add the puree and 1/3 of the unprocessed lentils to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Add soy sauce and stir until combined. Use your hands to form patties. This mixture will give you 7 large patties (about 3 inches).
Burger patties can be fried with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, or baked for about 15 minutes. Choose the option that suits you best. We pan-fried ours.
Serve and enjoy!
