Lentil Burgers - Vegan Gluten-free -

Oh yes, here to share another quick & easy recipe. It's just throwing a bunch of stuff into a bowl & mixing it really.


! Lentil Burgers Recipe !


Ingredients:
- 2 cans of Brown lentils - Rinsed & drained
- 1/2 a medium Onion - Very finely diced
- 1 small Carrot - Grated (I always wash mine & leave the skins on)

- 2 tsp of Orgran 'no egg' Egg replacer

- 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Almond meal (This is a thickener & the amount can vary)

- 1 clove of Garlic - Minced
- 1.5 tbs of Cumin
- 1 tbs of Tomato sauce
- 1 tsp of Sugar
- A few pinches of Salt & Pepper to taste
- Oil for cooking


Method:
1. Prepare the lentils & set them aside to drain as much as possible whilst preparing all other ingredients.
2. Add all the ingredients into a medium sized bowl & mix thoroughly, mashing most of the lentils as you mix. Allow the mix to sit for 10 minutes or so to develop flavour & allow the almond meal to expand. The mix should be fairly thick & should hold their form, or you may need to add a little more almond meal. You can taste the mix & adjust seasonings before you start cooking.
3. Heat some oil in a skillet over a medium - low heat, then scoop out balls of the lentil mix & flatten & shape them with a spatula. Allow them to fry for a few minutes, then carefully flip them & allow to fry a few more minutes. They're ready when heated through & golden brown on both sides : )


Serve! :D -(oh my gosh how easy!)


This amount makes 10-12 burgers & of course they are great served in place of meat burgers, but we also like to eat ours with some basmati rice & a nice salad :)

Prep, mix, fry, serve, done!

I hope you like them, & I would definitely encourage people to experiment with different flavors for the burger mix & come up with a unique herb/spice blend.

Have fun!
