Cheeky Lentil Burgers

Lenitls are usually given a bad rap, let me be a little rephrase. My husband (the mega meat eater) hates lentils, but I tricked him into tasting these and ended up loving them. For the non-meat eaters or those just trying to get some extra veg into your little ones bellies, you should really give this one a go.

Directions

1. Rinse the lentils in cold water then add to a pot with 2 cups of water and cook for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the lentils are cooked. Add a little more water if needed.

2. Transfer the lentils to a big bowl and add the rest of the ingredients and mix it all together.

3. Heat up a pan with a little olive oil.
