Green Lentil, Potato and Mushroom Burgers

I made these a little while ago but forgot to photograph them. It's a good job I made quite a few and froze them. This time I served them with goat's cheese, homemade pickles and lettuce, with swede chips on the side. The recipe for the chips will follow tomorrow. These froze really well and were a really good vegetarian alternative to a beef burger.

Green Lentil, Potato and Mushroom Burgers (from Great British Chefs)
(Makes 6)

1 tbsp oil

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

400g tin of green lentils

300g potatoes, boiled or steamed until tender

250g mushrooms, sliced

90g of porridge oats

3-4 tsp Old Bay seasoning

salt and pepper

Rinse the green lentils well and set aside.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the mushrooms and garlic until tender. Season well, then blitz in a blender or food processor until quite fine.

Add the mushrooms and the rest of the ingredients to a large bowl and mash until combined. Season.

Flour your hands and roll the mixture into balls and then squash into a burger shape.

Chill in the fridge for about 30 mins.

Heat the oven to 200C and bake the burgers for about 15-20 mins or until golden and crisp.
