Lentil Burgers



I love finding new recipes for veggie burgers. These lentil burgers were easy to make. The jalepeno gives it a little extra kick.
Ingredients:
1 cup lentils
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic diced
1 Tablespoon oil
1/2 green pepper
1 small jalepeno seeded and chopped
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon cilantro
2 Tablespoons flour
1 Tablespoon ground flax
1/4 cup oats

Rinse and cook lentils in boiling water, until soft, about 40 minutes. Heat oil and saute onion and garlic for five minutes. Remove from heat. When lentils are done, drain and add onions and garlic. Place half the mixture in a food processor, along with the peppers, tomato paste and spices. Add the remaining lentils, then flour and oats. Pulse until blended. Scoop and form into patties on greased cookie sheet. Mixture will be moist.  Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Flip burgers, then bake for another 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with your favorite toppings.
