Ingredients:
For the burgers:
1 cup cooked green lentils (mashed)
1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free)
1/2 cup quinoa flakes (optional)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup cooked brown rice (optional)
1/2 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can full-fat coconut milk (14 oz)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
For the topping:
1 ripe mango, pitted and diced
1 tablespoon tamarind paste (find in international aisle)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced (omit if not using heat)
1/2 cup diced avocado (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the burgers except for the oil and toppings. Mix well until everything is combined and there are no more dry spots.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. You should have four burger patties.
3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the burgers and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the topping by mixing together the mango, tamarind paste, red onion, and jalapenos. Set aside.
5. Once the burgers are done, transfer them to a bun and top with the prepared topping. Serve immediately.
Note: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the burger mixture. For added crunch, try adding some diced carrots or bell peppers to the burger mix.
