Makes 8 burgers
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely-chopped white onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1/2 cup grated carrot
2 cups cooked lentils
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, lightly toasted
1 tablespoon finely-chopped parsley
1/2 cup panko
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoons soy sauce
2 eggs, beaten (If making vegan burgers, substitute 2 tablespoons finely-ground flax seed dissolved in 6 tablespoons of water)
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, garlic and carrot until soft, about 6-8 minutes. Cool.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in sautéed vegetables. Form into 8 patties. Broil or grill, 4 minutes each side. If grilling, cook over aluminum foil. Serve on hamburger buns with desired condiments.
