How to cook deliciously - Cumin-Spiced Red Lentil Burgers

1. Stage

Place lentils in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until lentils are tender, about 10 minutes; drain.

2. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and spray the paper with cooking spray.

3. Stage

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 6 minutes. Add carrots, bell pepper, celery, and about 2/3 of the garlic; sauté until carrots begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cumin and cayenne pepper, then remove from the heat.

4. Stage

Add lentils to the skillet, along with bread crumbs, eggs, 3 tablespoons parsley, 3 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and pepper; mix until well combined. Form mixture into eight patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crispy, flipping halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes.

6. Stage

When the burgers are almost finished, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining parsley and cilantro together in a small bowl.

7. Stage

Place each burger onto a lettuce leaf and top with yogurt sauce.
