Instructions
- Lightly Sauté onion with garlic and fresh thyme in a pan with very little Organic Avocado Oil.
- First add the onion and garlic to a food processor and pulse until completely broken down. Then add in the lentils, rice, oats, seasoning and flour. Pulse until it resembles ground beef.
- Next form into your desired shape. Note: Add more flour if necessary.
- Bring a medium-sized pan up to medium heat and add in just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and allow the patties to rest for at least 5 minutes before using.
- In a blender combine the avocado oil. Hemp seeds, shallots, dill, lime juice, and salt and puree until smooth.
- Serve with the lentil burgers.
