Lentil and Beef Patties

Name: Lentil and Beef Patties
Yield: Makes 6 patties

Lentils give a great texture to a patty - and I absolutely love them! They're great for a plant based source of protein and a great staple to have in your pantry at all times. Once these patties are made, layer them on a burger bun and top with your favourites!

Tap a number when you've finished that step.

In a large mixing bowl, add mince, mushrooms, drained lentils, brown onion, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Once mixed, shape into small burger patties. If these are a little sticky or having trouble staying together, add a little breadcrumb until the mixture is firm.
In a deep non-stick pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium high heat. Add patties into the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until cooked through with no pink in the centre (71°C).
Once cooked - build your burger! Or eat with a side salad.
