Ingredients

  • 2 cups boiled or steamed brown lentils
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, finely grated
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

Lemon Yogurt Dip

  • 1/2 cup Greek or plain yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp dry parsley
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil and saute your diced onions until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Transfer them to a bowl with the grated carrots, lentils, garlic and spices and mix well using a masher or your hands to break up some of the lentils.
  3. Add in the soy sauce, ketchup and oat flour and mix well together until evenly incorporated.
  4. Line a cutting board or flat plate with parchment paper, and shape the batter into 6 burgers. The batter will be slightly sticky so I suggest shaping them with wet hands.
  5. Heat your skillet on medium/low heat, and add in another tbsp of olive oil. Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown. I suggest cooking 3 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet, and adding more oil in between batches.
  6. Once they're all cooked through, mix together the yogurt ingredients in a small bowl.
  7. Serve with a side salad or your favorites sides!
  8. The burgers will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for 3 months.
