These vegan lentil burgers are the perfect Lenten cheat meal. This recipe utilizes an array of veggies, aromatics and spices to create a delicious vegan lentil patty that can be enjoyed as a sandwich or as an accompaniment for salads. We created a “flax egg” for the binding agent but you can also cassava flour or green fig to bind your patties.
