These quick lentil burgers are a family favourite in our house. My teen daughter asks for them just about every week. And that's something, because she generally prefers sweets to "real" food. Although it's a super simple recipe, I've been refining it for weeks because I wanted to best combine ease of preparation with just the right texture. I think I've finally found the best ingredients and the best process for preparing these lentil burgers quickly and efficiently.
I started making these lentil patties long before our current social distancing practices, but it turns out the recipe is great for these challenging times. It requires ingredients you are likely to have (or can stock up on) in your pantry. This includes canned lentils (although you could certainly cook dry lentils for this recipe too), flour, panko bread crumbs, oats and seasonings. The only perishable ingredient is a red onion, but those are pretty long lasting too.
