These burgers were really really yummy and held together nicely. To cut down on prep time I suggest cooking the lentils and potatoes ahead of time. Otherwise its a heck of a lot of work for a burger.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup lentils cooked
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp brown mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Olive Oil
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
In a food processor, grind the lentils and potatoes, scraping down the sides and regrinding to make a coarse paste. Add the onion, oats, cashews, cilantro, ginger, and garlic and grind to a fine mince. Add the flour, lemon juice, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Pulse to mix.
Oil a baking sheet and scoop 1/2 cup portions of the lentil mixture onto the pan, leaving plenty of space between them. Wet your palm with a little oil and flatten each scoop of lentil mixture into a patty. Brush the patties with more oil for a crisp top.
Bake until the outsides are slightly crusty but still give a little when pressed (25-30 min). Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Top burgers with fresh tomato, spinach and homemade salsa and enjoy!
