Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup dried lentils (8 oz) sorted, rinsed
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt-free southwestern chipotle seasoning
1 can (11 oz) vacuum-packed whole-kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon canola oil
6 lettuce leaves
6 round 100% whole wheat thin sandwich rolls (4 inch)
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
6 tomato slices
6 thin onion slices

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat water, lentils and salt to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender yet hold their shape; drain. Spoon into large bowl, cool 15 minutes.
  • Into cooled lentils, lightly stir bread crumbs, seasoning, corn, and eggs. Form mixture into 6 patties about 1/2 inch thick and about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter; place on platter or cookie sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes (patties will firm up, making them easier to cook without falling apart.)
  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Cook 3 patties 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden brown. Transfer from skillet to heatproof platter; cover and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and patties.
  • Place lettuce leaf on bottom half of each roll; top with cooked patty. Spread each with 1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise over patty; top with 1 slice tomato, 1 slice onion, and roll top.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Lentils: Use high-quality lentils that are free from debris and stones. Brown or green lentils work well in these burgers.
  • Soaking the Lentils: Soaking the lentils before cooking helps reduce cooking time and aids in digestion. If you're short on time, a quick soak (15-20 minutes) is better than no soak at all.
  • Seasoning the Burgers: Don't be afraid to experiment with seasonings. The recipe provides a basic combination, but you can add your favorite herbs, spices, or a dash of hot sauce for a kick.
  • Handling the Burgers: The lentil mixture can be delicate, so handle the burgers gently when forming and cooking them. Avoid over-mixing or over-handling, as this can make them fall apart.
  • Cooking the Burgers: Pan-frying is a great way to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior. Use a non-stick skillet and cook the burgers over medium heat, flipping them carefully to prevent breakage.
