Mushroom Lentil Burger & Fries

Course: Mains

Ingredients

Burgers

  • 1 tbsp Flax meal
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil Divded
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup Lentils Cooked
  • 1 cup Oats

Fries

  • 4 Russet potatoes Cut in wedges
  • Olive oil To taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste

For Serving

  • 5 Burger buns
  • Dijon mustard
  • Tomato Sliced
  • Arugula
  • Ketchup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • To make the flax egg, combine the flax meal and water in a small bowl and stir. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the mushrooms and cook until most of the juices have evaporated, 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce and paprika and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Set aside in a large bowl.
  • Heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the onion to a food processor, then add the lentils, oats, and flax egg. Pulse until chunky, about 10-15 pulses.
  • Transfer the lentil mixture to the bowl with the mushrooms. Mix well, using your hands if needed, then shape into 5 patties. Place on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap, then freeze for 20 minutes.
  • While the patties are freezing, prepare the fries. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  • Spread the fries on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the patties from freezer. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 2-3 patties, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 minutes on other side. Repeat with the remaining patties.
  • To assemble the burgers, top each bun with a patty, then layer on dijon mustard, tomato slices, and arugula.
  • Serve the fries with ketchup.
