Directions

  1. Use a metal spoon to mash roughly half of the lentils into a paste.
  2. Combine garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper with mustard, BBQ, and molasses. Add the lentils.
  3. Add onion, oats, brown rice, and beets and mix thoroughly by hand.
  4. Add additional oats to manage the moisture content and binding properties, as needed.
  5. Form into 5 oz (140 g) patties. Cook on a hot grill or plancha for 5-7 minutes, until an exterior crust is developed and the patties have heated through.

Optional - after grilling, brush with sweet soy sauce before serving in a traditional burger style.
