I’ve got lentils that I want to use, so I get to make some new ones, and some delicious purple sweet potatoes that were cooked a few days ago. I wonder what they would taste like as a burger?
So I pulled out a sweet potato and peeled off as much of the loose skin as I could. Then I tossed it in a bowl and mashed it up a bit with a fork.
Next, I added about a cup and a half of leftover, cooked French lentils
and used my hands to mash all that together. Then I added a cup of oats.
As the lentils were already seasoned, I didn’t add much more to them but a little Spanish paprika, but you can certainly season them to taste. We’ll see how that goes.
Working on a flax egg to bind it all and then I will make them into patties and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes I imagine. Those rules seem to generally suffice for most things like this.
Let me know if you try this and what your results were like.
EDIT: Yeah, they’re good. Moist, tender, but still holding together. Give them a try!
