Spiced Lentil Burgers

I created this recipe as part of the 21 day kickstart DIY Wednesday Lunch.

The flavours may seem unusual for a burger but they really work so wonderfully together to create an amazingly tasty burger. 

Enjoy on a roll or with salad. 

You could also roll this mixture into bite size balls if you would rather.

ENJOY!

You'll need:

1/2 tin lentils, drained

1/2 onion, chopped

6 button mushrooms, chopped

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1/2 teaspoon each paprika, cloves, allspice

100g soft tofu

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

In a frying pan combine the mushrooms and onion with the garlic, ginger, paprika, cloves & allspice. Water fry until the onion begins to soften. Add the lentils and continue to cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables have cooked down well. 

Transfer the lentil mixture to a mixing bowl and add the tofu. Mash together well.

Add the breadcrumbs and stir til everything is well combined and mixture clumps together.

Using wet hands shape into burgers & place on a lined baking tray.

Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve warm or cold.
