Lentil burger with blue cheese

I'm not vegetarian but I think we eat too much meat. I make peace with my love for animals and my love for meat by cooking more and more plant based proteins and my husband enjoys most of them too.

Lentil is one of them and is a good substitute for ground meat. I make loaf with them and burgers. Here's a successful new flavor I tried out.

Lentil burger with blue cheese

Ingredients

2 cups Lentils

About 4 cups Vegetable stock

2 Eggs

About 3/4 cup Bread crumbs

1 tablespoon Montréal seasoning

1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

5 oz. Blue cheese crumbles

1 Scallion

2 Grated garlic

Directions

Boil the lentils in stock for about 1/2 hour or according to package directions. (I didn't measure the stock and just cover the lentils + 1 inch and they were too dry, so I added some afterward).

Drain if necessary, mash a little using a potatoe masher. Let cool.

In a large bowl, mix the 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of Montréal seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 5 oz. of blue cheese, 1 scallion and 3 grated garlic. Add the cooled lentils ( I cooked them in the morning). If it's too dry add liquid, if it's too wet add bread crumbs.

Form 8 patties, using a well wet 1/2 measuring cup and well wet hands.

Cook on medium heat about 5 minutes on each side, with a little bit of butter and oil.

Serve as burgers in a bun or as you wish but don't forget your veggies. Serve them à la you, be healthy and bon appétit!
