Quarter Pound Gluten-free Beet Lentil Burger

Looks and tastes incredible. After some research, I made something that could fool any meet eater.

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cup cooked brown rice, cooled
1 cup cooked brown lentils, cooled, drained well
1 cup shredded beets, cooked
½ tsp Himalayan salt
Fresh black pepper
1 tsp ground thyme
½ tsp ground fennel
1 tsp ground mustard
3 TBS very finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBS liquid smoke (or Worcester sauce, if not vegan)
2 TBS cashew butter ½ cup gluten-free oats, coarsely processed

Directions:

Using a food processor, process the first 3 ingredients until it looks like ground meet. Pour in a big bowl and then add in all the other ingredients. Mix well with your hands. Pre-heat oven at 180°C.

Make patties using a ring mold and put them over parchment paper or baking mat on the baking tray. Brush burgers with olive oil. Bake for 15 min. and flip them. Bake for another 15 minutes.
