  • 3.5 oz mushrooms (100g, 6 average cremini)
  • 1 cup brown lentils (canned, drained and rinsed; see note 1)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

Instruction

  • Spread out a couple of paper towels and arrange the lentils and mushrooms on top. Allow to dry for 10 minutes.
  • Place the mushrooms, lentils, garlic, worcestershire, salt, balsamic vinegar, and sunflower seeds in the base of a food processor, and pulse 10 times. Scrape down the sides of the processor, add the rolled oats and pulse 5 more times (or until it looks like the photo above).
  • Scrape the contents of the food processor into a large bowl. Stir in the panko and eggs.
  • Form 1/3 cup patties about 1 inch thick. Cook in a non-stick frying pan for 4 minutes, then flip. Cook for 2 more minutes, then place a slice of mozzarella on top and cook for another 2 or so minutes, until cheese is melted and burger is cooked through.
