Ingredients

• Cooked lentils - 1 cup
• Grated carrot - 1/2 cup
• Chopped onion - 1/2 cup
• Chopped bell pepper - 1/4 cup
• Garlic cloves - 2, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Chickpea flour - 1/4 cup
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato slices - 1 medium
• Cucumber slices - 1/2 medium
• Vegan yogurt or sauce - for serving

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils with a fork until slightly smooth.
2. Add grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped cilantro to the lentils. Mix well.
3. Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chickpea flour until fully combined. The mixture should hold together; if too wet, add a little more chickpea flour.
4. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in another skillet or toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the cooked patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and a dollop of vegan yogurt or sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite side.
