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.

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