Vegan burgers red lentils

Easy vegan burger recipe red lentils. Red lentils (which you can find in Asian food stores), having no skin can be soaked shortly and allow preparing these vegan hamburgers without plan the day before. We suggest this recipe with minimal ingredients that are easy to make, but you can always add some finely chopped (such as peppers, mushrooms, etc.) to change the mass or parsley or cilantro and thus give a different feel.

Difficulty: Easy

Preparation: 25 min.

Ingredients for 3 people

• 250 g. Red lentils
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 bunch parsley
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 12 teaspoon pepper
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons wheat flour or bread crumbs
• Enough oil for frying (you can also make baked)

Preparation

Wash the lentils under running water and put them to soak for about an hour and a half.

After this time we strain well lentils and put them in a large bowl. We are interested that they are well drained.

Add to bowl the chopped parsley and garlic, also minced, 1 tablespoon turmeric and other ground cumin. Salt, pepper, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir well.

Now, with the help of a blender or a food processor, we beat the mass of our vegan burgers red lentils. If we do it in a blender, we will go slowly, not to reheat it (there are very sensitive mixers).


When all is beaten (no matter that it is odd whole lentil soup) we adjust the consistency of the dough with the help of about 3 tablespoons whole meal flour (wheat or may be otherwise). Another alternative is to use some bread crumbs instead of flour. The texture should allow us to form patties with your hands and not dismantled.

We are the burgers while the heated oil in skillet. The amount of oil should be sufficient so that at least half the thickness of the hamburger is covered. When the oil is hot, let batch cooking hamburgers, leaving brown on one side and flipping them later. Mind you, it takes very little brown! So you should pay attention to prevent burning and to have some skill in keeping the oil temperature just right. This depends on each fire (e.g. induction cookers are very fast heating, gas while allowing us a more leisurely pace in adjusting the right temperature). One trick is to know when the oil is ready to put a small ball of dough that, once you start to sizzle, will give the notice.

Serve with a rich tomato sauce and a good salad or if you feel Make sandwiches.
