Lentil Burgers of Not What I Meant Submitted by: Thoth | Date Added: 29 May 2022

Ingredients

<ul><li>1c brown lentils, uncooked</li><li>3c water, to cook them</li><li>1c thinly sliced bok choy greens (not the white part. hold on to that for a stir fry.)</li><li>1tsp asafoetida</li><li>1tsp basil</li><li>1/2tsp rosemary</li><li>1/2tsp oregano</li><li>~1 3/4c oats, ground (take rolled oats and put them in the coffee grinder or blender)</li><li>1T arrowroot starch + 1T water</li></ul>

Cooking Instructions

Put the lentils, bok choy, and seasonings in the water. Boil until lentils are soft and bok choy is wilted. ~30m? Turn it off. Dissolve
arrowroot starch in cool water and stir into pot. Add oat powder and
mix thoroughly. You should end up with a wet, lumpy mess, but the
important part is that there shouldn't be clumps of dry oat powder. Leave
it alone for a while. I left mine in the fridge overnight, but I'm sure
it doesn't take that long to set. It should be about the consistency of
oatmeal left out on the counter, when you get back to it, and it should
definitely have been sitting long enough to cool.Heat a pan or an electric griddle (I do not know what I would do without mine. Probably cry.)
to 180C/350F. Split the lentil glop into eight roughly equal parts and
squeeze them into patties no more than 1/2" thick, roughly palm sized.
Grease the griddle (or spray oil on the patties, either one works) and
cook the patties until they're browned, then flip them and do it again. I
have no idea how long this took, because I was doing too many things at
once, but you can definitely smell them when they're browning.Serve with whatever the hell you put on a burger. I suggest pickles and mustard, but I'm like that.
