Step 1

Preheat oven

Step 2

Make sure you have sprouted your lentils before beginning. Rinse your lentils well and then pulse them in a Nutribullet for a few seconds. You want half the mixture to be fully blended but still keep some whole lentils for texture. I did mine in two batches in the smaller container and that worked well.

Step 3

Combine all other ingredients and combine with a spoon. Mix well allowing the chia seeds to activate their binding effect. Let sit for 10 minutes if you don't notice the mixture binding well.

Step 4

When ready, form little burger shapes on a plate. Get your pan super hot with some coconut oil. Fry up in the pan for 10minutes until browned on the outside.

Step 5

Once they look browned, add them to the oven for 10minutes so they can cook through.

Step 6

These go well with a simple green salad, fresh tomatoes and pumpkin seeds.
