Celeriac (Celery Root) and Lentil Veggie Burgers
- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
1 celery root (mine was 325 grams before peeling, and I think I will buy a bigger one next time)1 cup red lentils, rinsed well1 large onion, sliced or chopped1/2 teaspoon dried thyme1/2 cup red wine3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley2 cups fresh bread crumbs2 eggs, beatenolive oilsalt and pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 380 F. Saute the onion with olive oil (I used 1 tsp) and the thyme. After about 10 minutes, add ½ cup of red wine and let the wine and onions cook together until the wine has evaporated.
2. Peel and chop the celeriac into bite-sized cubes, put in a pan, cover with water, and boil until tender, 10-15 minutes.
3. After rinsing the lentils, boil them in about 2.5 cups of water until soft. When done, set in a strainer for 5 minutes to help get rid of the excess liquid.
4. Combine the lentils, celeriac and onions in a large bowl. Mash, but leave some chunks of celeriac Add the parsley, bread crumbs, and eggs (already beaten). Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into burgers and pan- fry them for a minute until golden on both sides. (I used about 1 tsp of olive oil per every two patties). Put the burgers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes. About halfway through, rotate the pan and lower the temperature to about 300 F.
