Ingredients

2 T chia seeds

1/2 cup water

1 cup cooked lentils, unseasoned

1/4 cup chopped sweet onion

1 raw carrot

1 small stalk celery

3 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 T avocado oil for high heat

Tips

Good on a bun or flat bread or on a salad. Especially good with some nice ripe avocado.

Directions

Grind chia seeds (I used NutriBullet, but spice grinder or mortar and pestle will do). Add half cup water to ground chia. Let sit 10 minutes or until gelatinous. Chop onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook in a little water. (Drink the resulting broth for the yummy flavor and nutrition!) Put lentils in mixing bowl and add chia mixture and cooked veggies. Add cumin and salt. Heat skillet with avocado oil. Drop one quarter of mixture in a burger shape in pan. Cook until brown on medium heat. Turn and brown second side.

Serving Size: Makes 4 burgers; nutritional information is for 2 burgers as one serving
