1 cup green lentils, rinsed
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fancy molasses
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

I wasn't a fan of the texture of these burgers. They were a bit too mushy for my liking.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe by adding some grated vegetables or a binder like eggs.
