Lentil Burgers with Yogurt Sauce

The cooked burgers keep for 3 days in the refrigerator, or freeze them; reheat them in a skillet or in the oven until they are piping hot in the center.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked lentils, drained (about 1 1/2 [15-oz] cans)
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 medium carrots
• 1/2 medium onion
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 3/4 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt or skyr
• 1 cup grated cucumber
• 3 medium tomatoes

Directions

1. Blend half the lentils with the eggs, then mix in the rest of the lentils, the oats, the grated carrot, the finely chopped onion, the cumin, and some salt.
2. Shape into 8 small patties and let them rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
3. Brown them in a skillet with the oil, 3–4 minutes per side, until firm and hot in the center (160°F).
4. Mix the yogurt with the grated cucumber and serve 2 burgers per person with the sauce and a sliced-tomato salad.
