Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked lentils
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (for coriander cream)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 pinch Salt (for coriander cream)

Directions

Step 1

Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

Step 2

Stir in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped parsley, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add additional oil if needed for the second batch.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the coriander cream by stirring together the Greek yogurt, chopped coriander, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Serve the lentil chickpea patties warm on a bun or a bed of greens with a dollop of coriander cream. Optional toppings include sliced tomato, cucumber, or lettuce.
