• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3/4 cups Walnuts (chopped)
• 2 cups Green Lentils (cooked)
• 2 tsp Tabasco Sauce

Directions

‍

1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion and mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Drain off any excess liquid.
2. In a food processor, combine the mushroom and onion mix, walnuts, half the lentils, tabasco sauce, paprika and chili powder. Pulse until smooth.
3. Transfer mixture into a large mixing bowl and add almond flour, parsley, sea salt, black pepper
   and remaining lentils. Mix well. (Note: Add more almond flour 1 tbsp at a time if your mixture is too wet.)
4. Take just over 1/3 cup of the mixture and form it into a patty with your hands or use a round cookie cutter or large mason jar lid to make perfect patties. Place the patties on a piece of parchment paper.
5. Heat a BBQ over medium heat. Grill the patties for 10 to 15 minutes per side and then gently flip. Brush each side with a bit of olive oil before and after flipping.
6. Remove from BBQ and top the burgers with your favourite burger fixings and enjoy!
