directions

  • Before you begin, the lentils must be fully cooked. Gently boil them in enough water to cover them by 2 inches, with NO salt. Lentils will take about 30 minutes to cook.
  • While they cook, dice the onion and grate the carrots.
  • Drain the cooked lentils and put them in a bowl with the carrots and onion. Mash them a bit, but not too much, and add enough flour to get them to the point where they will stick together. You may also need to add a bit of water. Season the mix with the spices, salt & pepper and stir them through well.
  • With your hands, form the lentil mix into burger shapes. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to a heated pan and lay the burgers inches Leave them for about 10 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook another 5-7 minutes. Put the burgers in an oven on low heat to keep them warm while you cook the second batch.

  1. I added an egg for moisture instead of water but otherwise followed the recipe. It's fantastic! Meaty, filling, very flavorful, a GREAT burger.
     
  2. Loved the combination of texture and flavours, kept to the quantities but cut out the flour and, as I am not a Vegan, substituted 2 beaten eggs and some dried onion to soak up the moisture. Served with dip of natural yoghurt seasoned with ground cumin, cardomon and coriander, salt and pepper.
