High Protein Lentil Burgers (Grain Free, GAPS)

 (This post may contain affiliate links which will benefit me if you purchase through them.)

 I love lentils. They are easy to prepare, very versatile, and cheap. One of our go-to dinners and lunches this summer is lentil burgers. I came up with my own recipe that my gluten-free, grain-free daughter can eat using almond flour (I get mine from Honeyville Food Products)  and some spices to jazz it up a bit. I cook up a big pot of lentils and then mix some lentil burgers up and cook them. I sometimes even put extra cooked lentils in the freezer as they are easy to thaw out and mix together for a quick and tasty meal.

Ingredients

3. 1 egg
4. 1 tsp sea salt
5. 1 tsp cumin
6. 1/2 tsp chili powder

Instructions

1. Soak 2 cups lentils in 2 cups water with a splash of vinegar to help break down hard to digest parts of the lentil.
2. After soaking for several hours or overnight, add another 1-2 cups water and cook lentils for 30-45 minutes until soft and easy to mash.
3. Mix the lentils and all other ingredients together until well mixed and easy to form a patty with.
4. Form 6 patties and cook in frying pan with lard or another fat of choice until browned on one side.
5. Turn over and cook on the other side.
6. Serve with ketchup, creamy salad dressing or plain in a homemade bun.
