Firstly, put the lentils into boiling water and leave to simmer until ready (usually about 10 minutes or less) and pre-heat your oven to 200c.
-
While they're cooking, drain the white butter beans and place them into a large mixing bowl and mash. Then, add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, chilli, lime zest, breadcrumbs, oil, spices and salt.
-
Next, drain the cooked lentils and add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything together then divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and flatten into burgers. If you find the mixture too moist to shape, try adding more breadcrumbs.
-
Pop the burgers onto a baking tray, cover with some oil and place them in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway.
-
When ready, serve them with any fixings of your choice. Personally, I like to add a slice of beef tomato, salad, red onions, sliced avocado and a pickled chilli. Yummy!
