Ingredients:

185g cooked Sabarot red quinoa

300g cooked Sabarot green lentils

For the flax mix:

1 tbsp flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water

half a diced onion

2 minced garlic cloves

1 tbsp cumin powder

1 tbsp smoked paprika

4 sourdough burger buns

Tasty toppings to garnish:

Method:

Soak flax seeds in water and leave aside.

Place a pan on medium heat and sauté onions and garlic for 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with aa splash of water and continue to cook until onions are translucent.

In a bowl, mix the flax, soya sauce, bbq sauce, cumin, paprika, yeast, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Mix, this in a separate bowl with your lentils, quinoa, and onions. Use a potato masher to mash away until the mixture is thick and slightly sticky. The lentils should be mashed, but its okay if a few whole ones remain.

Shape into 4 patties and chill in the fridge.

Add some olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan when the oil is hot and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until caramelised.

Pile up your creation between sourdough buns, garnishing it with our suggested toppings plus rocket leaves for a peppery crunch.
