Ingredients

Ingredients for 4 portions

Lentil Patties

200 g dried brown lentils (note: soak 1 hour in hot water)

2 tablespoon tomato paste

1⁄3 cup onions (diced)

1⁄2 cup carrots (grated)

2 garlic cloves (chopped)

1 tablespoon ginger (chopped)

1⁄3 cup coriander (fresh)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon garam masala (or another spice blend)

30 ml olive oil (and more for shaping and brushing)

2 tablespoon rolled oats

20 ml water

Burger with Lentil Patties (for 1 burger)

1 burger bun

1 lentil burger patty

1 large lettuce leaf

5-6 spinach leaves

2-3 sliced bell pepper

5-6 sliced onion

4-5 sliced cucumber

2-3 sliced tomato

1-2 sliced cheese (e.g., feta)

sauces (e.g., ketchup and mayonnaise)

Preparation

Bake Lentil Patties

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook the lentils for 5 minutes, drain and rinse under cold water.

Place the lentils, tomato paste, onions, carrots, garlic, ginger, coriander, salt, garam masala and oil into a blender and purée until well combined.

Add the oats and water and blend again until well combined. (Note: The more you blend, the smoother the cutlets will be; blend less for a coarser texture).

Divide the mixture into 6–10 equal portions. Rub your hands with oil and shape into patties.

Brush with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.

Flip the patties and bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve with dips or use in burgers.

Assemble Burger

Start with the burger bun and layer the ingredients as desired.

Generously add sauces and place the lentil patty in the center.

Finish with additional ingredients, cheese, more sauces and the top bun.

Serve with potato wedges.
