Lentil Burgers

The key to doing things like Lentil Burgers is to do some pre cooking, otherwise it is just too daunting to start from scratch at 5 o'clock when everyone is hungry.  I cook up some lentils with water just covering, stirring occasionally so they don't stick.  Use half for a lentil stew one night topped with mashed potato and cheese (Lentil pot pie).  Second night pull cold lentils out of fridge add:-
onion chopped fine
spring onion chopped fine
grated carrot
parsley chopped fine
walnuts chopped
salt, pepper
1 egg to combine
Form into patties and roll in a little seasoned flour.  Shallow fry in Olive oil.
I've served mine with Cauliflower Cheese and shredded cabbage. Delish
These freeze well and make a quick lunch with salad or another meal, hot or cold.
