Ingredients:
Burger buns (I went for whole spelt bread rolls instead of typical buns)
One eggplant
Harissa
Tomato
Baby spinach
Burgers patties:
2 cups water
3/4 cup dried red lentils
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
Cooking spray
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced carrot
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs or oat flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
combine water, lentils, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 20 minutes. Drain; set aside.
In the meantime add the onion, carrot, and 3 garlic cloves to a hot skillet; sauté over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, mushrooms, marjoram, and pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place veggie mixture in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add the lentils, breadcrumbs/oat flour, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and egg whites. Cover and chill 30 minutes (to help firm up the mixture).
Shape the mixture into 6 patties and cook for 5 min on each side.
Harissa eggplant:
Slice eggplant into round disks, lightly coat with olive oil and generously add harissa spice. Toss them and pan fry them until soft and tender. (I like to add a bit of water from time to time so the eggplant is being steamed and pan fried at the same time)
