Description

Finely chopped mushrooms and lentils give this meatless veggie burger plenty of hearty, "beefy" flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown lentils
1 (6 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Combine lentils, mushrooms, mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a food processor; pulse to combine.
2 Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add bread crumbs and egg; mix until evenly combined. Shape mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half of the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining patties.
