Lentil Burgers

Lentil Burgers are made with rolled oats, walnuts, carrots, spring onions, and green lentils, and these tasty burgers are so easy to make.

Meanwhile, peel and chop the carrots, slice the tomatoes and cut the spring onion as well. Next, in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then add the spring onion. When the spring onion is translucent, add the carrots and cook them for about 2 minutes.

Then form 4 individual round and flat patties with your hands. After that, in a small frying pan (14 cm), warm the olive oil over medium heat and cook the patties on each side for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. These burgers are tender, so when you want to flip them, place a plate on the frying pan and then flip the burgers.

Note: It is better to soak the green lentils for 6-7 hours before cooking them. This helps to digest the lentils better, and it also reduces bloating.
