For today's menu, chef Gabi Junqueira will teach you step-by-step how to make a delicious lentil burger with avocado mayonnaise. FOR THE LENTIL BURGER: • 1 cup (tea) of cooked and mashed lentils (green, brown or French) • 1 large clove of garlic, chopped • 1/2 cup (tea) of chopped onion • 1/2 cup (tea) of chopped parsley • 1 tablespoon of olive oil • Salt to taste • 1 cup (tea) of oat flour • Vegan bacon to taste • White cheese or your preferred cheese PREPARATION METHOD: Soak the lentils overnight. In a saucepan, cook the lentils until "al dente" (they shouldn't be too soft or they will crumble), simply place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Strain and blend with a mixer, food processor, or even a blender. At this point, you can add the chopped herbs and process them together. Once ready, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until softened. Add the chopped garlic and then add the lentils. Season with a little salt and add the oat flour. Stir well and remove from the pan. Add the vegan bacon and stir well. Taste to see if it needs more salt. Shape the burgers and return to the hot pan to brown, but not so hot that the burgers burn. They need to be golden brown and cooked through in the center. Once browned on both sides, add the cheese and, to melt it easily, add a little water and cover. Serve the burger with avocado mayonnaise and a green salad with cherry tomatoes in a lemon mustard dressing. FOR THE AVOCADO MAYONNAISE: • 1 ripe avocado • Juice of ½ lemon • 2 teaspoons of olive oil • Salt to taste PREPARATION: Cut the avocado in half and, using a spoon, remove all the pulp and cut into cubes. In a bowl, drizzle the avocado with lemon juice and olive oil, and mash with a fork to form a paste. Season with salt and taste. FOR THE GREEN SALAD WITH CHERRY TOMATOES: • Tricolor lettuce • 180g cherry tomatoes • 50g walnuts FOR THE LEMON AND MUSTARD DRESSING: • 9 tablespoons olive oil • Juice of 2 lemons • 3 teaspoons mustard • Black pepper • Salt to taste PREPARATION: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients very well. Chop the walnuts and sprinkle them on top.
