I’ve been trying to get a little adventurous with my recipes and figured I’d get through some more of my BA video recipes that I’ve saved. This week was Chris Morroco’s Lentil Burgers from the Healthyish line of recipes. It’s summer and it’s hot and I’m not a huge Burger person all the time anyway so I like trying out these lentil/veggie burgers and this one has mushrooms which I’ve totally been into lately. Our friends Matt and Holly have been making a lot of veggie burgers both store-bought and homemade lately and I’ve been drooling at them. Caleb isn’t into veggie burgers really so this was all for me. Lunch prep for the week so fingers are always crossed it comes out tasting good because I have to eat it all until it’s gone.

Chris’s recipe is super easy with just lentils and mushrooms and of course some seasoning. Like before, lentils were a trick to find but now that I know what grocery store there in, I made a beeline and was ready to go. Cook the lentils, mix everything together, mash a little, and cook it in a pan.

I didn’t have a ring mold but I did have an egg mold which is just a ring mold with a handle and it’s the perfect burger size so that worked out great! I didn’t mash the mixture super well to combine so it did fall apart a little while I was cooking it and later when I was reheating and assembling it didn’t keep the patty shape but it didn’t fall apart completely so that was alright.

Chris also makes a yogurt sauce to go on top which I love because its so fresh and garlicy but also tart from the plain greek yogurt.

This was super easy to keep eating all week and held up well. I did it open face with some lettuce and I was so happy with the miso and mushroom flavor it in the whole time. I would totally make it again and recommend it.
