I'm a 71 yr. old male long time Vegan, I started experimenting with lentil burger six months ago and they're great. I picked up a couple tips here. It took a heart attack, a tripe by-pass, and a Vietnamese lady surgeon to wake me up at 56. She told me if I didn't quit eating meat and dairy I would be back in ten yrs. or less, and I have to tell you this scared the hell out of me. A typical American doctor would have never advised me like this and I feel very fortunate, and yes I did listen to her.
What can I say you can eat anything but all in moderation the last time I had a burger was 6 months ago and I am sure I will have another in a few months but if you want to keep your arteries unblocked just eat Natto I do twice a week and that will keep your heart in good order look at K2 all the best Bob
Great recipe! Friendly reminded that putting the ingredient list in the description is always appreciated! 2 Tblsp OIL 8 oz. MUSHROOMS 1 ONIONS 4 GARLIC CLOVES 2 cups COOKED LENTILS 1 cup BREAD CRUMPS 1/2 cup PEANUT BUTTER 2 Tblsp SOY 2 Tblsp MISO 2 TBlsp THYME 1/4 chip CHIA 10 oz. SWEET POTATO
I add shredded carrots. And for flavor I add cumin powder, bread crumbs, dry cilantro, oregano, adobo, salt, dried mushroom powder, sautéed onions and garlic,
gladtidings4all thanks for adding. It inspired me to go off recipe. When I cooked my lentils I added three dried hatch New Mexico chili’s a bay leaf cumin and Mexican oregano and one tablespoon of thyme because I read in another comment someone thinking the thyme was too much (in the end after blending I added the extra tablespoon because I think that’s what cancels out the peanut butter taste!! The extra thyme worked. I threw in my onions midway into cooking lentils instead of using oil. I drained the little bit of liquid left over and let sit. Then cooked mushrooms in pain I cooked lentils in...cooked off the moisture in mushrooms which grabbed a lot of the lentil stuff left in pan. And then added lentils and onions for a few minutes to cook off extra moisture. When blending instead of soy sauce I used just a dash of liquid aminos and a dash of smoked salt and regular sea salt. I also sprinkled probably a 1/4 tsp of Tapioca powder in. I didn’t have sweet potato so I shredded some carrot and some butternut squash drizzled just a little bit of maple syrup and salt put it in oven at 300 degrees for 5 minutes to cook of moisture and then added it into mixture after blending. Turned out really good and satiating.
I would add smoked paprika, jalapeño peppers, roasted red peppers and nutritional yeast. I would then roll them in breadcrumbs before cooking/frying. Thank you for this recipe; I’ll make it my own 😊
This Chef makes lentils cool! The secret is chia seeds. My lifelong struggle... burgers that do not fall apart like the walls of Jericho. I find myself adding handfuls of flour to my soggy patties to no avail. Thank you for explaining the "architecture" of creating a successful vegan burger. I really want to commit to a vegetarian lifestyle as a newbie 7th Day Adventist. Meat dishes eg Roast lamb dinners, are such an integral part of Western culture, particularly in traditional agricultural economies such as New Zealand. Still, it is a paradigm shift that I am willing to make towards a healthier, biblical-based lifestyle.
A great recipe that turns out firm tasty burgers, I played a bit with the spices, added cumin and ground coriander , white pepper. I am gluten free so I replaced the bread with millet flour and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe.
Made this burger tonight. WOW, followed the recipe exactly and it was wonderful. I usually do a bean/rice burger, which can get sloppy. Very impressed with how this one sticks together so well and when you grill it up it actually looks like a meat burger with so much great flavour. Simple ingredients too, this is gonna be my go-to burger recipe for the next little bit. Thanks!
I am so excited how many wonderful vegan recipes there are out there now and the community just seems to be growing. This burger looks amazing and can't wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe and all the great tips.
Thank you! I always tell myself I am going to follow the recipe the first time and I never can!!! This is what I did. They are delish. The comments also inspired me to go off recipe. So here’s what I did. When I cooked my lentils I added three dried hatch New Mexico chili’s a bay leaf cumin and Mexican oregano and one tablespoon of thyme because I read in another comment someone thinking the thyme was too much (in the end after blending I added the extra tablespoon because I think that’s what cancels out the peanut butter taste!!) The extra thyme worked. I threw in my onions midway into cooking lentils instead of using oil. I drained the little bit of liquid left over when onions and lentil were done and let sit. Then cooked mushrooms in pain I cooked lentils in...cooked off the moisture in mushrooms I added the other two garlic cloves in with mushrooms which grabbed a lot of the lentil stuff left in pan. And then when moisture cooled off mushrooms and garlic I added lentils and onions back in pan for a few minutes to cook off extra moisture all together. When blending instead of soy sauce I used just a dash of liquid aminos and a dash of smoked salt and regular sea salt. I also sprinkled probably a 1/4 tsp of Tapioca powder in and I added two more cloves of raw garlic. I didn’t have sweet potato so I shredded some carrot and some butternut squash drizzled just a little bit of maple syrup and salt put it in oven at 300 degrees for 5 minutes to cook of moisture and then added it into mixture after blending. Followed the rest of measurements in recipe. Turned out really good and super satiating. Thank you Chef M!
I've made these burgers and they are delicious. My husband went crazy over them. I'm glad I found the video again by chance!!! I cooked them like a year ago. Time to make more for the grill!!❤
I’ve tried numerous burger recipes over the years and end up with disappointing results. This recipe, though, looks to be FABULOUS! I’m gonna make this as soon as I can get to the store for the one ingredient I don’t have, which is a sweet potato. Thanks so much for this!!!
I've looked everywhere and have tried to make so many vegan burger patties but all were always too moist. These turned out to be the best patties I've made so far.. Texture and taste! Great recipe thank you!!
Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter, OMG! so much better. But I have to warn you, I highly recommend you put on a bib before you taste it, it is so good, your mouth will be on full out drool mode. :)
Lentil burger - onion mushrooms garlic chopped and fried and get rid of moisture. Cooked lentils I cup fry - lentils to 3 cups water. Breadcrumbs I/2 cup peanut butter Savory- 2 tblspoons each of miso paste and soy sauce 2 tablespoons Ooomamie ?? Chia seeds - 4 tablespoons Put in blender - let it set up Add 2 cups of FRESH shedded Sweet potato BAKE FRY OR BBQ
Vegan Lentil Burgers with the Works Makes 6 to 8 servings 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 onion, chopped, 1/2 pound mushrooms, freshly sliced, 4 cloves garlic, freshly chopped, 2 cups cooked lentils, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup peanut or almond butter, 2 tablespoons miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons dried thyme, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 2 cups sweet potato, grated Heat frying pan over medium-high heat and pour the oil into it. Continued below.
if you soak the chia in 3 times its volume of water for several hours you get the consistency of an egg ...makes it easier to bind everything together ......
Thank you again for this wonderful recipe I followed the recipe the same and didn't skip anything. They came out awesome. The taste amazing. Oh and they finally didn't fall apart.
Eaten alone or combined in various dishes, lentils are incredibly delicious, any way you eat them. They are also a high source of protein, folate, iron and a great source of other minerals and vitamins. Lentils are also inexpensive compared to meat.
OMG!!This the best veggie burger I’ve ever made! Rivals any store bought! This definitely is on my ‘go to’ recipe list. I did do a couple different things. I wanted to avoid bread crumbs (I know that’s kind of anal). So per Jeff Novic’s burger recipes, I used oatmeal. I have a cheap burger press and made patties about 3.5 oz. I got 10 patties. Then I baked them for about 20m at 350f, then flipped them for another 15m. A little thinner burger seems to bake and hold together a little better for my tastes. Well these burgers kick butt! Thx ever so much!!
Great video I always look at "umami" as "essence of life". Sure, obviously found in animal flesh and such... but importantly, you get it from preparation... Time is what makes the difference. Sun dried tomatoes, fermented soy, miso, kimchee, yeasts, dried mushroom (personal fave), pretty much any dried or smoked vegetable... these ingredients changed my life.
Wow!! Hi Chef Michael why am i just seeing these Lentils video in 2023. I have a can of Lentils so i come on utube for ideas to prepare and surprise, it's my favorite chef
I would add red beets instead of sweet potato to make it red like meat!!! inspired by beyond burger. ;-) Great job chef!! Thank you for you experimental work.
i just made these. friggen tastes amazing, i think i overcooked my lentils by 3 minutes and i had a bit too much moisture in them, i tried to counter with more bread crumbs but wasnt enough. either way this is the best vegan burger recipe ive ever had.
Omg thank you for an amazing recipe. I've been looking for a vegan burger that sticks together. All my burgers fall apart so thank you now i know what I was doing wrong
Consider undercooking the lentils (in a veg or mushroom broth) by 5-7 mins and then adding the undercooked lentils to the mushrooms as they cook and release water. The lentils will continue to cook and absorb mushroom's (and onion's) liquid, making the dish drier while also making it more flavourful. Also, you don't need to add breadcrumbs for a grain if you're serving the burger on a bun that's made of wheat--as the bun serves as a significant amount of grains.
Used to watch you Michael on t.v all the time , never see you on anymore .. how is little girl , you have a new kitchen there I see, I am on a plant based diet now no dairy or meat, I love lentils too , this will be perfect for me to make , not using much oil at all though .. Love everything you cook .. God Bless you n your family , so happy to have found you on face book going to share this recipes with a friend of mine who’s son has congenital heart failure , just got out of the hospital, they removed 40 lbs of fluid from his body ,, 🙏❤️👍🤗🤗
Cooking with dog used this same music for their intro. I was wondering where I heard it from before and I just couldn't think of where. Such a great youtube channel.
Willow - The Kilted Steel Horse Diva Canada did you use the peanut butter like he did? Did it taste too nutty or give the patties a peanut butter flavor?
Willow - The Kilted Steel Horse Diva Canada I didn’t use peanut butter I put a few grated walnuts I to sprouted alfalfa and mung beans I make for my sister and husband who are vegan they say that they are the best burgers they have tasted and when her vegan friends go over she serves these and they two say the same and want the recipe with a smile she says my sister makes them for me , bless her she works long hours and away from home a lot
I am trying to make a tasty lentil burger and this was a helpful video. I have some chia seeds and am thinking about implementing those. Other ingredients I think could work: - worschestershire sauce - quinoa (could also add a nice texture on the outside if it gets toasted in the griddle)
Well I couldn't resist. I paused you at 7.33 and followed exactly. 45 mins later here I am eating one and watching last few minutes of your video. Delicious!!. 🏆🏆 Wow who knew chia seeds! It was indeed awesome 😊😊
Using your hands, shape the mixture into evenly formed patties. They may be cooked immediately, refrigerated for several days, or frozen for a month. The burgers may be barbecued on a grill, fried on the stovetop in a lightly oiled sauté pan or baked in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep in mind that they will brown relatively quickly, so use heat no higher than medium-high to give the centres time to heat up.
Sounds good! I love lentils - they are so under-rated and most people don't know what a wonderful nutritious food it is. Will be making this recipe up this week-end. Thanks lentil chef!
Oats! I use plain old rolled oats soaked in a little hot water. So presoak the later 1:1.5 with hot water then add mushrooms and onions, garlic etc. Fantastic result too
Thank you for the tips. You are very helpful with your tips on the burgers. We are from Pakistan and eat lentil [daal] which is the Urdu word for lentils. I will share my recipe for you. 1 cup of Masoor Daal [ orange lentils] 1 cup of Moong Daal [ white in color] wash and soak these daals overnight in cold water in a large bowl. Next day, throw the water out and wash it one more time. In the meanwhile, here is how I cook the lentils. Ingredients: 1 medium size onion 2 medium size tomato 1 teaspoon crushed garlic . [2 cloves] 4 cups of water Spices: 1 teaspoon leveled salt 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon Haldi [Turmeric] 1 teaspoon ground cumin powder . [ please buy the whole cumin seeds from the Indian Grocery store and grind 1/2 cup at a time for weekly usage. You can store the whole cumin seeds in a tight container in your fridge.] Directions: Brown the onions, add the garlic and tomatoes plus spices. Fry on medium flame for 3 minutes. Add the lentils and water to your cooking pot. Now bring to a boil and simmer cook the lentil for about 45 minutes. It should still be liquid but not thick soup. Serve with Naan or boiled rice. Enjoy!
Add the onion, mushrooms and garlic and sauté until they become brown and flavourful, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add all the remaining ingredients except the sweet potato. Purée the mixture until everything is smoothly combined. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the sweet potato by hand. Rest the mixture for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds time to soak up the liquid in the mixture and hold everything together. Continued below.
Thank you so much, they look really really awesome and amazing too. I’m going to try this out, plus share this with my daughter who’s Son is Vegan. Please stay safe and well too
That looked amazing! I have went back to my vegetarian way of eating and am trying different replacement dishes. I just made a batch of black bean burger mix, enjoyed it although will delete a few items I used next time. But your recipe and the finished product looked so mouth watering! I can't wait to pick up some of the ingredients to try it. I could almost taste them and they looked so firm. I never liked lentils because they were either undercooked or overcooked when I ate them as a child so hated them and refused to eat them ever again. But I received several pkgs of the things from a friend and decided to put them in my storage area for "hard times". Instead I am going to take them out and try your recipe as soon as I make it to the store to pick up a few other items. Thanks for sharing.
👍 this mix holds well so was able to make modifications - I replaced the mushrooms with aubergine and the miso with the Korean doenjang which gave it a spicy kick. They are delicious cold so smaller bite-sized patties tossed in sesame seeds and served with a hummus style dip is delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
I just prepared these lentils patties. It has taste wonderful . I add some green chillies as well. Thanks for sharing yummy recipe .I took some pictures after I prepared these lentils patties but I don't know how to send to you. I am your new Subscriber. I was looking for beans and lentils patties.God bless you. 👍
Lentils are pretty awesome, I'm finding out. I'm making the burgers tonight...but your videos are what alerted me to try them in the first place. I made some and wow... they are really delicious, all on their own! @Art Johnson, I hope your health is taking a turn for the better, via vegan and lentil diet!
I'd use Westchester sauce in the place of soy, and egg yolk instead of peanut butter.That sweet potato sounds lovely omg.. I'm going to try this.. With this Coronavirus we shopped for beans and found nothing but lentils left I'm so very happy I found this video, I'll be going back for them lol You rock
Looks 😋 I have lots of can lentils and mixed beans. I am using all of them to make your style lentils patties. How it will turn out. I will share my experience after I taste. I am going to follow your recipe 100%.I will share my experience next week. 😉 Thanks for sharing.
I love your lentil recipes I have used some of them love the lentil and rice recipe I've added sauteed onions and garlic and herbs mm good these burgers look amazing and tasty I've made lentil rice and veggie burgers before but these look even better
I found that I love lentils not so long ago and I'm 60 years old. Chia is good! I add to my oat meal & cream if wheat. I don't like sweet potato but if try this recipe with it.
I was literally about to make my burger. I have my red beans on the stove. I looked in my kitchen and I have lentils and oats and sweet potato . And then your recipe pops up. Great minds think alike! I'm definitely going to add some peanut butter. No mushrooms today but I'm sure I'll find a replacement. That's the great thing about being vegan. You use what you have and magic happens 🥕🥕
Epic fail. Mooshy mush. Should have trusted my gut and added way more oats. Also I think lentils where over cooked. My oat sausages always turn out great. Oh well, lesson learned.
Okay more feedback 😁 The burgers my 3 year old made were much slimmer. Turned out great. My batch was too thick hence the mooshy texture. Just make sure not to overcook your lentils if you're reading this. And throw in some oats for good measure.
Michael, this is an AWESOME video, thank you. Two Canadian Dietitians put out a book long time ago "Becoming Vegetarian". They say, as does research, that "combining" is not needed. The fact is, if you get enough calories, you are getting more than adequate protein. Babies at the breast receive about 7%, at their highest rate of growth. This myth can put people off trying vegan or vegetarian. It is my Personal Opinion Only (POO) that excess protein is a huge culprit in our diet, resulting in high rates of kidney disease in North America. Let me end by saying that the video was so well produced & enjoyable. THANK YOU!
I can't wait to try this, but I gotta say it looks like it might have a texture problem. When you cut it open to taste it, it looked (for lack of a better word) "mushy". That's one thing I miss from when I used to eat meat. That texture. And it's one thing that Impossible and Beyond get right in their "burgers".
I'm a 71 yr. old male long time Vegan, I started experimenting with lentil burger six months ago and they're great. I picked up a couple tips here.

there's fresh garlic. no need for garlic powder.

The lentils will continue to cook and absorb mushroom's (and onion's) liquid, making the dish drier while also making it more flavourful. Also, you don't need to add breadcrumbs for a grain if you're serving the burger on a bun that's made of wheat--as the bun serves as a significant amount of grains.
Newcomer to the plant protein thing, and lentils are my new favorite. This will definitely help poorer people like me eat better!
I am on a weight loss journey and pretty much eat lentil patties several times a week. I LOVE them. I am gf so I have to be creative in my binders.
sounds like you are on the way to a toilet

Used to watch you Michael on t.v all the time , never see you on anymore .. how is little girl , you have a new kitchen there I see, I am on a plant based diet now no dairy or meat, I love lentils too , this will be perfect for me to make , not using much oil at all though ..

God Bless you n your family , so happy to have found you on face book going to share this recipes with a friend of mine who’s son has congenital heart failure , just got out of the hospital, they removed 40 lbs of fluid from his body ,, 🙏❤️👍🤗🤗
Cooking with dog used this same music for their intro. I was wondering where I heard it from before and I just couldn't think of where. Such a great youtube channel.
i sprouted the lentils and added them without cooking to recipie...worked great!!
Willow - The Kilted Steel Horse Diva Canada did you use the peanut butter like he did? Did it taste too nutty or give the patties a peanut butter flavor?
Willow - The Kilted Steel Horse Diva Canada
I didn’t use peanut butter I put a few grated walnuts I to sprouted alfalfa and mung beans I make for my sister and husband who are vegan they say that they are the best burgers they have tasted and when her vegan friends go over she serves these and they two say the same and want the recipe with a smile she says my sister makes them for me , bless her she works long hours and away from home a lot
I am trying to make a tasty lentil burger and this was a helpful video. I have some chia seeds and am thinking about implementing those. Other ingredients I think could work:
- worschestershire sauce
- quinoa (could also add a nice texture on the outside if it gets toasted in the griddle)
I''m in love with your kitchen.
Well I couldn't resist. I paused you at 7.33 and followed exactly. 45 mins later here I am eating one and watching last few minutes of your video. Delicious!!. 🏆🏆 Wow who knew chia seeds! It was indeed awesome 😊😊
Using your hands, shape the mixture into evenly formed patties. They may be cooked immediately, refrigerated for several days, or frozen for a month.
The burgers may be barbecued on a grill, fried on the stovetop in a lightly oiled sauté pan or baked in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep in mind that they will brown relatively quickly, so use heat no higher than medium-high to give the centres time to heat up.
What's an alternative to mushrooms? Egg plant or zucchini good alternatives with this recipe?
Chris Rama Good job thx
Sounds good! I love lentils - they are so under-rated and most people don't know what a wonderful nutritious food it is. Will be making this recipe up this week-end. Thanks lentil chef!
Oats! I use plain old rolled oats soaked in a little hot water. So presoak the later 1:1.5 with hot water then add mushrooms and onions, garlic etc. Fantastic result too
Thank you for the tips. You are very helpful with your tips on the burgers. We are from Pakistan and eat lentil [daal] which is the Urdu word for lentils. I will share my recipe for you.
1 cup of Masoor Daal [ orange lentils]
1 cup of Moong Daal [ white in color]
wash and soak these daals overnight in cold water in a large bowl.
Next day, throw the water out and wash it one more time. In the meanwhile, here is how I cook the lentils.
Ingredients:
1 medium size onion
2 medium size tomato
1 teaspoon crushed garlic . [2 cloves]
4 cups of water
Spices:
1 teaspoon leveled salt
1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Haldi [Turmeric]
1 teaspoon ground cumin powder . [ please buy the whole cumin seeds from the Indian Grocery store and grind 1/2 cup at a time for weekly usage. You can store the whole cumin seeds in a tight container in your fridge.]
Directions:
Brown the onions, add the garlic and tomatoes plus spices. Fry on medium flame for 3 minutes. Add the lentils and water to your cooking pot. Now bring to a boil and simmer cook the lentil for about 45 minutes.
It should still be liquid but not thick soup.
Serve with Naan or boiled rice.
Enjoy!
Add the onion, mushrooms and garlic and sauté until they become brown and flavourful, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor.
Add all the remaining ingredients except the sweet potato. Purée the mixture until everything is smoothly combined. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the sweet potato by hand. Rest the mixture for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds time to soak up the liquid in the mixture and hold everything together. Continued below.
Dude, first time viewer. Life long meateater looking into vegan. Have used lentils before but that is a great recipe.
Still relevant 8 years later! Thanks
Thank you so much, they look really really awesome and amazing too. I’m going to try this out, plus share this with my daughter who’s Son is Vegan. Please stay safe and well too
increible. ..mouthwatering
That looked amazing! I have went back to my vegetarian way of eating and am trying different replacement dishes. I just made a batch of black bean burger mix, enjoyed it although will delete a few items I used next time. But your recipe and the finished product looked so mouth watering! I can't wait to pick up some of the ingredients to try it. I could almost taste them and they looked so firm. I never liked lentils because they were either undercooked or overcooked when I ate them as a child so hated them and refused to eat them ever again. But I received several pkgs of the things from a friend and decided to put them in my storage area for "hard times". Instead I am going to take them out and try your recipe as soon as I make it to the store to pick up a few other items. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely going to try these Thanks for sharing 👍
the host did not add salt. Very praise-worthy.
👍 this mix holds well so was able to make modifications - I replaced the mushrooms with aubergine and the miso with the Korean doenjang which gave it a spicy kick. They are delicious cold so smaller bite-sized patties tossed in sesame seeds and served with a hummus style dip is delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you! Going to try this!!
Words of culinary experience wisdom- make it stick together! Absolutely agree!
I just prepared these lentils patties. It has taste wonderful . I add some green chillies as well. Thanks for sharing yummy recipe .I took some pictures after I prepared these lentils patties but I don't know how to send to you. I am your new Subscriber. I was looking for beans and lentils patties.God bless you. 👍
The RECIPE sits right behind him in the beginning of the video.
I know you and I could sail to you from Maine where I was born and raised! I've always liked your cooking and I am now vegan.
Lentils are pretty awesome, I'm finding out. I'm making the burgers tonight...but your videos are what alerted me to try them in the first place. I made some and wow... they are really delicious, all on their own! @Art Johnson, I hope your health is taking a turn for the better, via vegan and lentil diet!
OMG, these burgers ARE good! They are soft, unlike meat, but the flavor is superb.
I am glad to found your channel. I use to watch your show chef at home, very interesting. Thanks for.this vege burgers recepie🙏🙏
Finally a veggie burger that taste good. Thank you
I'd use Westchester sauce in the place of soy, and egg yolk instead of peanut butter.That sweet potato sounds lovely omg..
I'm going to try this..
With this Coronavirus we shopped for beans and found nothing but lentils left I'm so very happy I found this video, I'll be going back for them lol
You rock
Looks 😋 I have lots of can lentils and mixed beans. I am using all of them to make your style lentils patties. How it will turn out. I will share my experience after I taste. I am going to follow your recipe 100%.I will share my experience next week. 😉
Thanks for sharing.
Amandeep Kaur how did It go amandeep?
This is brilliant. So glad I will be able to make a lentil burger that holds together - so incredibly packed with nutrients. Thanks!!!
I
I love your lentil recipes I have used some of them love the lentil and rice recipe I've added sauteed onions and garlic and herbs mm good these burgers look amazing and tasty I've made lentil rice and veggie burgers before but these look even better
Will def do this, thank you.
I just tried it and it's really good. Thanks a lot!
I made them today. I like the flavor but the texture is very soft.
I found that I love lentils not so long ago and I'm 60 years old. Chia is good! I add to my oat meal & cream if wheat. I don't like sweet potato but if try this recipe with it.
I was literally about to make my burger. I have my red beans on the stove. I looked in my kitchen and I have lentils and oats and sweet potato . And then your recipe pops up. Great minds think alike! I'm definitely going to add some peanut butter. No mushrooms today but I'm sure I'll find a replacement. That's the great thing about being vegan. You use what you have and magic happens 🥕🥕
Epic fail. Mooshy mush. Should have trusted my gut and added way more oats. Also I think lentils where over cooked. My oat sausages always turn out great. Oh well, lesson learned.
Okay more feedback 😁 The burgers my 3 year old made were much slimmer. Turned out great. My batch was too thick hence the mooshy texture. Just make sure not to overcook your lentils if you're reading this. And throw in some oats for good measure.

Very similar to this made with lentils, is called "Veg Kebabs" in India... We have that recipe for many years
Thank you. FANtastic; they look great! THIS is now my go-to recipe for burgers. (I don't suppose you could possibly do one on making Falafel...?)
Michael, this is an AWESOME video, thank you. Two Canadian Dietitians put out a book long time ago "Becoming Vegetarian". They say, as does research, that "combining" is not needed. The fact is, if you get enough calories, you are getting more than adequate protein. Babies at the breast receive about 7%, at their highest rate of growth. This myth can put people off trying vegan or vegetarian. It is my Personal Opinion Only (POO) that excess protein is a huge culprit in our diet, resulting in high rates of kidney disease in North America. Let me end by saying that the video was so well produced & enjoyable. THANK YOU!
"POO" -😂 That's a new way to put it
Looks awesome but i believe 2 tbsps dried thyme can be overpowering.. I would have probably used 1..
THANK YOU!
You’re a great teacher. Love your channel. New sub!
I can't wait to try this, but I gotta say it looks like it might have a texture problem. When you cut it open to taste it, it looked (for lack of a better word) "mushy". That's one thing I miss from when I used to eat meat. That texture. And it's one thing that Impossible and Beyond get right in their "burgers".
that looks insanely good.
Thank you
I like that kitchen.
Thank you for the recipe it’s was delicious 😋
Thanks for the vid. I would need to avoid all the unhealthy oil but that can be done. Will give this a try. Thanks.
Love this is so reach in proteins, thanks a lot for sharing this recipe, can you please tell me what type of non skillets you use?
Wow, sounds soooooooooo good, can not wait to try it :)
Wow i can just imagine all that healthiness and on my way to the Market NOW Thanks so Very Very MUCH.
Lentils are my favorite food....secondarily are chick peas....!!!!
greatly appreciate the recipe Happy New Year
this is good, but what if you add **GARLIC** and *SMOKED* *PAPRIKA* , now that's gonna be even meatier ... yumyumyaaam
Yes. Sauteed garlic and yellow onion both add so much flavor!
Moataz Billeh Mednini Oh yeah! And some bacon!
He added garlic with the onion and mushrooms
OrangeDiamond322 F U!
