SERVES 4 – COOKING TIME 35 mins – VEGAN
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
40g oats blended to a powder
1 tbsp Wasabi Company organic soya sauce
1 tbsp Tuberfoods truffle BBQ sauce
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Tasty toppings to garnish:
Jones cornichons
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.
