A quick, delicious and healthy lentil burger recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup brown lentils
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 tsp. Cumin powder
1 tsp. Coriander (ground)
1 tsp. Paprika
Chili flakes to taste
2 tsp. finely sliced lemon rind
3 tsp. finely sliced fresh chili (or whatever you can handle)
3 tsp. white sesame seeds
2 tsp. tahini (I used cold pressed, but whatever)
breadcrumbs
2 eggs
2 cloves of garlic

Method

Put the lentils in a saucepan with the stock, simmer on a low/medium heat until the lentils go a bit soft (keep them al dente though).

While these are simmering, mix the remaining ingredients (sans the breadcrumbs and eggs) in a mixing bowl.

Put the lentils in the bowl, mix, add the eggs then add breadcrumbs until the consistency is sticky. Place bowl in the fridge for a while.

When cool enough to handle, fly burger-shaped patties in oil for a while.

Eat!
