Ingredients
  

  • For the Burger Patties:
  • 1 can of Chickpeas drained
  • 1/2 cup of Dry Red Lentils + 1 cup of water
  • 1 Carrot grated
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped Thai Basil
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Coriander
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chilli Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup Chickpea Flour
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • For the Black Pepper Sauce:
  • 1 Tablespoon whole black Peppercorns
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Sweet Dark Soy Sauce for color and sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons Regular Dark Soy
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegan Butter
  • For Dijon Mayonnaise:
  • 1/3 cup Vegan Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Spicy Dijon Mustard
  • To serve:
  • Bread rolls Rocket, Spinach, Tomato

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Black Pepper Sauce: Using a spice grinder, freshly grind your peppercorns and then transfer it to a bowl. Add Vegetable stock, rice milk, sugar, salt, sweet dark soy, regular dark soy and cornstarch into the bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and add your knob of vegan butter. Whisk over low heat till butter has melted, and then bring to a boil so that the sauce thickens. Once thickened, pour into a bowl and set aside.
  • Prepare Dijon Mayonnaise: Mix mayo and mustard together. Set aside.
  • Prepare Burger Patties: Cook lentils in water till tender. (Bring to a boil, and let simmer covered for about 15 minutes. Add more water if necessary). You want your lentils to be a little on the mushy side, to help bind the burger.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Combine cooked lentils, chickpeas, carrot, thai basil, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, chilli pepper flakes, onion powder, minced garlic, paprika, chickpea flour and salt/pepper in a large bowl.
  • Using a potato masher, mash ingredients together well. Leave some chickpeas slightly unmashed to create texture in the burger patty.
  • You should have a mixture that will form into patties. If it is too wet, add a little more chickpea flour.
  • Form your mixture into 7 patties (we made mini burgers) and place on a non-stick paper lined baking tray. Bake patties for 30 minutes.
  • At this point, you can let them cool and wrap them up individually for freezing or refrigerating. If you’re going to serve them immediately, let them cool for a short while and then sear them in a hot, lightly oiled pan to create a nice crust on the outside.
  • Serve in a warm, toasted split bun and top with rocket, spinach and a tomato slice. Drizze both sauces on and enjoy!
