Ingredients
- 200 gr. lentils (cooked)
- 100 gr. textured soy (fine)
- 1/2 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 carrot
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 spoonful of oregano (dry)
- 1 teaspoon pepper potpourri
- 2 spoons of potato starch
- 1 teaspoon salt (rasa)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- We put the textured soy in a bowl with hot water and let it hydrate for 15 minutes. After this time, we drain it well and reserve.
- Drain the lentils boiled in a colander and reserve also.
- Grate the onion and garlic and put the oil to heat in a large pan. When the oil is tempered, we toss the onion and garlic and let it simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring so that the garlic does not burn.
- Grate the carrot, add it to the onion and garlic and stir. We let everything be done for 5 more minutes so that the carrot softens.
- Add lentils and textured soybeans, mix everything and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it tastes good.
- Add the tamari sauce, spices and salt, remove everything and leave it on the fire for 5 more minutes. Afterwards, we put out the fire and let it cool down.
- When the dough is cold, add the potato starch and mix well. Next we are taking portions with a spoon and forming hamburgers with our hands or with the help of a hamburger mold. If we see that the dough does not remain completely compact, we can add a little more potato starch to gain consistency.
- Put a little oil in a nonstick skillet and, when it is warm, we place the hamburgers and cook them over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. When they are all golden on both sides, we take them out of the fire and serve them.
Notes
- You can use both tamari soy sauce and shoyu soy sauce, the difference is that tamari does not contain gluten and its taste is somewhat more intense.
