OLIVE LENTIL BURGERS
From the Post Punk Kitchen Website! These were DELICIOUS! I love making my own veggie burger, and these had such a wonderfully unique taste. The salty brine of the olives mixed with the meaty texture of the mushrooms made a perfect match. One thing I also really liked about this recipe was the addition of dried tarragon. I do have a small plastic bag of the spice, but I don't really come across too many opportunities to use it. To me, tarragon has a licorice and slightly minty flavor. The flavors of dried tarragon are quite strong, but the 1/4 tsp called for in this recipe, gives the perfect subtle hint. I might be able to use up that bag after all! I did end up baking the burgers in the oven about 15 minutes longer than stated, so about 45 minutes total. I served them on toasted wheat bread with some romaine lettuce leaves and some guacamole.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Preheat a large, heavy bottomed pan non-stick (preferably cast iron) over medium high heat.
- Saute onion for about 3 minutes with a pinch of salt.
- Add mushroom, garlic, black pepper, thyme and tarragon and saute for 7 to 10 minutes, until mushroom is cooked.
- While mushroom is cooking, place olives in food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped (not pureed.)
- Remove from food processor and set aside. (No need to clean it out for the next step.).
- When mushrooms have cooked, add mushroom mixture to the food processor.
- Add all other ingredients except for 1/2 a cup of the breadcrumbs. (Did you hear me? Reserve 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, this will give them better texture.)
- Pulse until mostly smooth, but there should still be a little texture.
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to the burger mixture, along with the chopped olives, and thoroughly combine.
- Divide burger mix into 6 equal pieces.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Form mixture into patties, spray with a little more cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip burgers and bake for 12 to 15 more minutes, until nicely browned.
- They taste great served immediately but they're also excellent at room temperature so don't be afraid to stuff into a sandwich and take as a lunch.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use dried lentils instead of canned lentils. Dried lentils are more flavorful and hold their shape better.
- Be sure to rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the lentils until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy.
- Use a food processor to coarsely chop the lentils. This will help to create a more uniform texture in the burgers.
- Add plenty of seasonings to the lentil mixture. This will help to give the burgers flavor.
- Form the lentil mixture into patties using a burger press or your hands. Be sure to pack the patties tightly so that they hold together well.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and ketchup.
