description
A soft burger of legumes enclosed between two slices of wholemeal homemade bread or simply accompanied by a side of potatoes or green salad: these are the things that I like!
preparation
step 1
In a small container let the flax seeds rest with 50 ml of water for about 15 minutes. Then blend everything until a gelatinous and homogeneous mixture is obtained. Boil the red lentils in salted water with a piece of kombu seaweed.
step 2
The seaweed will serve to make the legume more digestible. Meanwhile, simmer the shiitake mushrooms in lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes. At the end, squeeze and cut into strips, taking care to remove the stale coriaceous stems.
step 3
In a wok heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil with the garlic clove and add the freshly cut mushrooms. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender, adding a little water if necessary.
step 4
Blend the tofu with the boiled lentils, then pour into a large bowl and add the flax seeds, shiitake mushrooms, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix until you get a mixture that you can work with your hands.
step 5
Work the dough and with the hands formed of the burger. Pass them in the rice flour, place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake at 180 ° C, in the static oven, for about 15 minutes on each side, until browned.
step 6
At the end, turn on the grill and leave the burgers to brown for another 5 minutes or until they have acquired a nice browning. Your burgers are ready!
step 7
You can serve them in a panico seasoned with lettuce leaves, tomatoes and vegan mayonnaise or simply as a second to accompany with a side dish. Enjoy your meal!
