Red lentil burgerBurger de linte rosieRode linzen burger
For approx.. 10 pieces:
1 cup red lentils
3 tablespoons chickpea flour
1 large carrot
1 large onion
1 bell pepper
a handful (frozen) peas
a handful olives, finely chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, mashed
2 tablespoons seasoning mix (coriander-, cumin-, allspice-, paprika-, juniper-, garlic-, mustard powder etc.)
1 tablespoon mint (fresh or dried)
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper, to taste
Wash the lentils thoroughly and cook them together with the bay leaves in 1 1/2 cup water. Check from time to time that they don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. When the lentils are cooked the water should be completely absorbed. Remove the bay leaves and allow it to cool.
Process the carrot, onion, bell pepper and mint using a food processor (or finely grate or chop them).
Mix all ingredients. Form the burgers and bake them in oven at medium heat (175 C) for 20-30 minutes.
Cut the burger bun in half, add the burger and salad, finely chopped onions, tomatos, mustard, ketchap, vegan mayonnaiseor garlic sauce, to taste.
Variation: you can add fresh chili / chili powder to the mixture.
Pentru aprox. 10 bucati:
1 cana linte rosie
3 linguri faina de naut
1 morcov mare
1 ceapa mare
1 ardei gras
o mana mazare (congelata)
o mana masline, taiate marunt
2-3 catei de usturoi, pisati
2 linguri condimente pentru tocatura
1 lingura menta (proaspata sau uscata)
2 frunze de dafin
sare si piper, dupa gust
Se spala lintea foarte bine si se pune la fiert impreuna cu frunzele de dafin in 1 1/2 cana apa. Verificati din cand in cand sa nu se prinda de oala. Cand lintea a fiert apa trebuie sa fie in totalitate absorbita. Se indeparteaza frunzele de dafin si se lasa la racit.
Morcovul, ceapa, ardeiul gras si menta se proceseaza cu ajutorul unui robot de bucatarie (sau in lipsa acestuia se dau prin razatoarea mica sau se toaca foarte marunt).
Se amesteca toate ingredientele. Se formeaza burgerii si se coc in cuptor, la foc mediu (175 C) timp de 20-30 minute.
Se taie chifla în doua, se adauga burgerul si se asezoneaza cu salata, ceapa tăiată fin, castraveciori murati si dupa preferinte cu mustar, ketchap, maioneză vegană sau sos de usturoi.
Variatie: in compozitie se poate adauga putin ardei iute/boia iute
