Got some extra lentils on hand? Making some healthy veggie burgers is a great way to use them up. These lentil and carrot veggie burgers are a healthy alternative to the regular burgers and are both vegetarian and vegan. For a lower fat version, stick these under the broiler for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 cups cooked lentils, mashed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- salt to taste
- oil for frying
Preparation:
Cook the onion and carrot in the water until tender, about ten minutes.
Drain off excess water, then combine the onion and carrot with the remaining ingredients except oil.
Form into patties and fry in a lightly oiled frying pan until browned on both sides and heated through, about ten minutes.
