How to make the Burgers

- Gently fry mushrooms with the garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft.
- Drain the Green Lentils and rinse, put into food processor along with mushrooms, garlic, cooked Quinoa, Tomato purée, beaten egg, salt and black pepper. Pulse ingredients until you have the consistency you want.
- Pop the mixture into a large bowl and add the oats, use as many tablespoons as needed (5 was about right for mine). Also add the Paprika, Cayenne, Parsley and sesame seeds, mix well.
- Refrigerate for an hour or so or overnight to firm up.
- Put the burgers on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and fry to brown them further.
- Serve on a bun, or between lettuce leaves in place of the bun, with cheese, the red onions and garlic and lettuce.
