1 Carrot grated- 1 clove Minced Garlic
0.5 cup Breadcrumbs white
1 Eggs
2 tbsp Tomato paste regular
1 tsp Ground Cumin

- Mash the Lentils:Place cooked lentils in a large bowl and mash about half of them with a fork or potato masher (leave some whole for texture).
- Combine Ingredients:Add onion, carrot, garlic, oats/breadcrumbs, egg (or egg substitute), tomato paste, cumin, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the mixture holds together. If too wet, add more oats/breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a splash of water or a little olive oil.
- Shape Patties:With damp hands, shape the mixture into 4–6 burger patties.
- Cook:Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.
