Directions

  1. Combine water and lentils in a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the water is completely absorbed and the lentils tender yet holding form, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer lentils to a large bowl and let cool.

  2. Stir onion, cilantro, garlic, mustard, cumin, parsley, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes into the lentils, add flour as needed to help absorb excess moisture and bind ingredients together. Shape lentil mixture into 4 patties.

  3. Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

  4. Cook burgers in the hot skillet until firm and hot in the center, 4 to 7 minutes per side.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

Red lentils are my favorite. I was craving something lentil-y and found a recipe that was just what i wanted after I changed it up a little. I topped them with cherry tomatoes and garlic sprouts. I will totally make this again, it was so amazing!
