Siri's Mushroom and Lentil Veggie Burger
I thought the texture of this burger was meat like and satisfying. Next time I make it I want to experiment a bit with the spices to give it a bit more flavor.
-
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped finely by hand or in a food processor
-
1 small onion, diced
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 cup cooked lentils
-
1 cup breadcrumbs
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic and sauté until tender and the onions are translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, remove from the heat and let cool briefly.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. Add the lentils, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Form into four patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes. When ready to cook, in a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cheese, cover and cook for 1 minute. Serve each patty on a whole wheat bun with arugula and Dijon mustard
