Ingredients
175g Red Lentils
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil, plus extra for spraying
1 Red Onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp Asda Chipotle Paste
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp Fresh Coriander, leaves and stalks finely chopped
80g Plain Flour
50g Asda 50% Less Fat Mature Cheddar Cheese, grated
½ x 90g pack Asda Mild Mixed Leaf Salad
4 Asda Extra Special Sliced Brioche Burger Buns
1 Avocado, sliced
2 tbsp Asda 50% Less Fat Soured Cream
Method
1Cook the lentils according to pack instructions. Drain well and set aside.
2Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 4–5 mins until beginning to soften. Add half the chipotle paste, the cooked lentils, then cook for 4–5 mins, stirring, until most of the moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool for a few mins. Add in remaining chipotle paste, egg, coriander and flour. Season well, stir to combine, then let the mixture rest for 15–20 mins.
3Using slightly wet hands, shape into 4 patties – the mixture will feel sticky. Heat remaining oil over a medium heat and cook each patty for 4–5 mins on each side until golden brown. When nearly ready, melt the cheese over the top before serving.
4Add salad to the bun, then top with burgers, avocado and soured cream.
