Ingredients For lentil burgers

  • 2 c
    lentils, cooked and cooled
  • 1
    egg
  • 1/2 c
    cracker crumbs
  • 1 sm
    onion, minced
  • tomato juice

How To Make lentil burgers

  • 1
    Cook lentils ahead of time, following package instructions. Make sure they're nice and soft, but not mushy. Cool to room temperature.
  • 2
    In a large mixing bowl combine lentils with egg, crumbs, onion, salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Use just enough tomato juice to make the mixture hold together when formed into patties. Divide the mixture into six even portions, and shape into patties.
  • 4
    Fry the patties, just like hamburgers, in a small amount of olive oil (or whatever you prefer).
  • 5
    Serve on buns and pass the ketchup!
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
