Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked lentils
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 cup cooked rice (preferably brown rice)
• Seasonings: salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, black pepper

How to make the lentil burger:

1. Cook the lentils with bay leaves, water, and soy sauce for flavor. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, blend half of the cooked lentils, onion, celery, carrot, cooked rice, seasonings, and soy sauce until you achieve a uniform mixture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine this mixture with the remaining half of the whole cooked lentils, oat flour, ground flaxseed, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Moisten your hands and shape the mixture into patties (or use a ring mold/lid). You can bake them in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes on each side or pan-fry in a skillet with a little oil until golden brown.
