Lentil Mushroom Burgers Recipes

MUSHROOM-LENTIL BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine lentils, mushrooms, mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a food processor; pulse to combine.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add bread crumbs and egg; mix until evenly combined. Shape mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half of the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining patties.

LENTIL BURGERS WITH LEMON-BASIL MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the burgers: Heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add the shallots, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Blend the peas and 1 can lentils until smooth in a blender. Transfer the pureed peas and lentils to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 can lentils, 1/3 cup cornmeal, mayonnaise, lemon juice and the mushroom mixture. Form 1/3-cupfuls of the mixture into eleven 3/4-inch-thick slider patties.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup cornmeal on a baking sheet. Place the burgers on top of the cornmeal. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cornmeal on top of the burgers. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat in the skillet. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side.
• For the mayonnaise: Mix the mayonnaise, basil and lemon zest until smooth in a small bowl.
• Working in batches, place the bread in the skillet and cook until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. The bread can also be grilled or toasted in an oven.
• Smear the mayonnaise on the bread and top with the lentil burgers. Serve with avocado if using, tomato, lettuce and top with the remaining the bread slices.

LENTIL-WALNUT BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine walnuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; process until finely ground. Add lentils and 1 tablespoon oil; pulse until coarsely chopped (some lentils should remain whole).
• In a large bowl, whisk egg. Add lentil mixture; mix well. Divide into 4 equal-size parts; roll into balls, and flatten with the palm of your hand into 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add burgers; cook over medium-low heat until crisp and browned, turning gently with a thin-edged spatula, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with Yogurt-Cilantro Sauce, if desired.

MUSHROOM LENTIL BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a heated pan, sauté the onions for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes more, or until cooked.
• In a bowl, mash the lentils with a potato masher. Then stir in the barbecue sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground flaxseed, and sea salt. Mix well.
• Add the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture, and mix well. Finally, stir in the oats.
• Shape the mixture into burger patties, and place them on the baking sheet. Coat with a thin layer of barbecue sauce.
• Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to flip the patties and coat with another thin layer of barbecue sauce. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until firm to the touch.

OLIVE LENTIL BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Preheat a large, heavy bottomed pan non-stick (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat.
• Saute onion for about 3 minutes with a pinch of salt.
• Add mushroom, garlic, black pepper, thyme and tarragon and saute for 7 to 10 minutes, until mushroom is cooked.
• While mushroom is cooking, place olives in food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped (not pureed.)
• Remove from food processor and set aside. (No need to clean it out for the next step.).
• When mushrooms have cooked, add mushroom mixture to the food processor.
• Add all other ingredients except for 1/2 a cup of the breadcrumbs. (Did you hear me? Reserve 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, this will give them better texture.)
• Pulse until mostly smooth, but there should still be a little texture.
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to the burger mixture, along with the chopped olives, and thoroughly combine.
• Divide burger mix into 6 equal pieces.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Form mixture into patties, spray with a little more cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes.
• Flip burgers and bake for 12 to 15 more minutes, until nicely browned.
• They taste great served immediately but they're also excellent at room temperature so don't be afraid to stuff into a sandwich and take as a lunch.

MUSHROOM LENTIL BURGER & FRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• To make the flax egg, combine the flax meal and water in a small bowl and stir. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
• Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the mushrooms and cook until most of the juices have evaporated, 7-8 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce and paprika and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Set aside in a large bowl.
• Heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Transfer the onion to a food processor, then add the lentils, oats, and flax egg. Pulse until chunky, about 10-15 pulses.
• Transfer the lentil mixture to the bowl with the mushrooms. Mix well, using your hands if needed, then shape into 5 patties. Place on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap, then freeze for 20 minutes.
• While the patties are freezing, prepare the fries. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
• Spread the fries on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove the patties from freezer. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 2-3 patties, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 minutes on other side. Repeat with the remaining patties.
• To assemble the burgers, top each bun with a patty, then layer on dijon mustard, tomato slices, and arugula.
• Serve the fries with ketchup.
• Enjoy!

JULIE'S LENTIL-NUT MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Using a food processor, finely mince the appropriate ingredients listed above.
• In a saucepan, bring the lentils, vinegar, oil, and water to a boil.
• Reduce the temperature, and simmer, partly-covered, 30 minutes or until the lentils are soft and the liquid is absorbed.
• In the meantime (while lentils are cooking), saute remaining ingredients together over medium heat in butter and additional olive oil for 10 to 15 minutes and all are tender.
• When lentils are soft, and liquid is gone, place in large bowl and mash (or use food processor).
• Add the mushroom mixture to the mashed or processed lentils, and mix well.
• Chill for about 1 hour.
• Make 4-inch patties from chilled mixture.
• Note: uncooked burgers may be individually wrapped and frozen. For freezing, make patties, place wax paper between each patty and stack; wrap well and freeze (or wrap individually).
• To cook: Fry burgers in butter until brown, *or* broil about 8 minutes on each side. Try putting sesame seeds in pan to keep burgers from sticking to pan, if it is a problem.
• Serve either as patties, as burgers in a whole-wheat bun, or filling for a pita.
• Good with cheese melted on top, basil sprinkled on each burger is tasty also.
