Instructions
Put the lentils in a pot and cover with 400ml boiled water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Empty the lentils into a sieve and allow to drain, then place them in a bowl and mash them up a little.
Add the onion, peppers, flour, coriander, spices and mix together.
Stir in the beaten egg and season with salt and pepper.
The mixture will be wet and using your hands you’ll be able to shape it into 6 burger patties. If it’s too sloppy add a little more flour.
Spray a large non-stick pan with the spray oil and cook each burger patty over a medium heat on either side turning whilst cooking to prevent burning.
Remove each cooked burger to warm oven to keep warm as you cook the others.
Serve on burger buns with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes and sliced red onion.
Notes
The lentil burgers can be refrigerated overnight, once made into patties prior to cooking.
