Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 small onion, roughly chopped
1 small carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1 tsp. salt, divided
1/4 tsp. celery seed
2 Tbs. olive oil, divided
1 lb. cooked lentils
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
2 Tbs. taco seasoning

Steps:

  • Rough-cut onion, carrot, garlic and place in the food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and celery seed and pulse until finely chopped. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a saute pan, add carrot mixture and cook till just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Place lentils, breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the cooked carrots over the top, and slightly mash together. Combine the cornstarch, Worcestershire and water; add to the lentil mixture. Mash together once again with a spoon or spatula. If making taco meat, add the jalapeno and taco seasoning.
  • Form burgers into patties, sliders or meatballs. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan and cook burgers on medium-high heat until heated thoroughly and slightly crispy on the outside, about 5 minutes per side. Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings (lettuce, onion and tomato are on our version).
