Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 160 g red lentils
  • 1 medium sized onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 red pepper (finely chopped)
  • 1 yellow pepper (finely chopped)
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped coriander
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Low fat spray oil

Instruction

  • 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.
