Ingredients

1 cup lentils, cooked (or canned)
1 cup mushrooms, chopped (of choice)
2 tablespoons olive oil + 2 tbs for cooking
1 large flax eggs (1 tbs flax meal + 3 tbs water)
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs*
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt & pepper to taste
whole wheat burger buns
your aioli and veggies of choice

Preparation

Bring dried lentils to a boil in salt water for 15-20 minutes
Lentils will still be slightly firm and not mushy
Drain and dry completely
In a large mixing bowl, combine lentils, mushrooms, olive oil, miso, and seasonings
Using a potato masher, fork, or food processor - mash all ingredients together
Leave a few chunks for texture
Fold the flax egg and panko bread crumbs into the mixture until well combined
Mixture should be sticky (but not mushy to stick on your hands) and firm enough to bind pattties
Make the patties and size accordingly to the size of your burger buns
Pan fry on a cast iron or a skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil
Until it browns on each side
Serve in a toasted bun and your choice of veggies and aioli
I used a vegan aioili sauce with mayo, ketchup, and a little bit of paprika
Bon appetit! ?
