Lentil Burgers
These Lentil Burgers are in my top 3 when it comes to plant based burger patties! The outside is crispy and the inside feels meaty when you bite into it!

Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked green lentils well-dried
- 2 shallots roughly chopped
- 2 carrots roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup quick oats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Burger Sauce
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dill powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, shallots, carrot, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth, with a few chunks for texture.
- Add the oats and pulse briefly to combine. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when formed into patties. If it's too wet, add more oats, a little at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into 4 patties about 3-4 inches wide and ½-inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside. Serve the lentil burgers on buns with the burger sauce, if desired, and your favorite toppings.
