Lentil, Quinoa, & Sweet Potato Burgers

Serving Size: About 9 burgers

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup uncooked, washed brown lentils
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 1/2  cups mashed sweet potato
• 1 cup diced onion
• 2  minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 1 cup very finely chopped kale
• 1 1/2 cups oats (either old-fashioned or quick)
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp chili sauce, such as Sriracha
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Begin cooking the quinoa, lentils, and sweet potato.
2. Sautée onions and garlic with salt/pepper until clear/slightly browned.
3. Dump all ingredients into one large bowl. Mix with hands.
4. Refrigerate from 1 hour. This step isn’t necessary, but will help with the integrity of the burgers.
5. Sauté burgers at high heat in olive oil. They burn quickly, so flip early.
6. Serve with avocado, tomato, caramelized onions, and Sriracha Aioli for a mind-blowing combination.
