Lentil Falafel Burger Serves 4 Ingredients For the burgers Low-calorie cooking spray 40g rolled oats 2 x 400g tins green lentils, rinsed and drained 1/2 onion, peeled and chopped 40g baby spinach leaves Handful of fresh coriander leaves Handful of fresh parsley Handful of fresh mint leaves 2 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the tzatziki 1/2 cucumber 150g fat-free Greek-style yoghurt 1–2 tsp harissa paste (to taste) A few fresh mint leaves, finely chopped 1 tsp runny honey To serve 4 x 60g wholemeal rolls 75g mixed salad Method Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C/gas mark 6) and spray a baking tray with low-calorie cooking spray.
Place the oats in a food processor and blitz to a coarse flour. Remove and place to one side.
Pat the drained lentils with kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture, then put in a food processor with the onion, spinach, fresh herbs, garlic granules and spices. Blitz to a coarse paste – you don’t want it completely smooth – then scrape into a bowl, add the blitzed oats and mix well.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
