Lentil Walnut Burger - Good Old Vegan

Burger

Lentil Walnut Burger

Sunny Sundays are for vegan burgers! For me personally, the most exciting part about burgers have always been the toppings. So ever since going vegan I still fully enjoyed ALL kinds of veggie burgers 😋🍔

While there’s so many plant based burger options out there now – which is great! – the healthiest and often best ones are still homemade. Like these delicious patties made from lentils!

What is a must have on your burger?

Ingredients

1 cup brown lentils or green lentils
2-3 cups water
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
1 medium onion
3-4 cloves garlic
1 tsp onion powder garlic sweet paprika, smoked paprika and cumin each
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce, coconut aminos
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tbsp BBQ sauce optional
avocado oil

Instructions

Rinse lentils thoroughly and cook with water until soft. I used the @instantpotofficial for this (Manual setting 20 minutes with 2 cups of water)If you’re making them stovetop you need to increase water to 3 cups cooking until very soft. (Around 30 minutes)
In the meantime, finely dice onion and sauté with a splash of water or some avocado oil until browned. Add minced garlic and chopped walnuts to the pan and continue cooking for a few more minutes until walnuts are toasted.
When the lentils are done, add them to a food processor along with onions walnut mix, breadcrumbs and spices and sauces. Pulse/Mix until everything is well combined.
Refrigerate lentil mix for 30 minutes (this helps with forming the patties but you can omit this step when short on time), shape 4 even patties and pan fry them with some avocado oil for 7-10 minutes (depending on thickness) on low medium heat each side. Alternately for a firmer patty, you can pan fry them for a couple minutes each side and then bake in the oven at 400 F/200 C for about 20 minutes, flipping half way through.
Serve on a bun of voice with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
