Ingredients
Instructions
For this recipe, you need cooked lentils. Blend the oats until powdery.
Preheat half the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. In the meantime, chop the onion.

Once the onion gets translucent, add the chopped or grated carrot. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes and remove from heat.
Place the cooked lentils in a bowl and mash. You can also use a hand blender.
Add the stir-fry with the oats, egg and salt and pepper to taste. Season however you prefer, you can use ground garlic, curry, paprika, etc.
Once done, make the burgers and cook each side for 2-4 minutes in a heated grill with the remaining oil. Remove.
For the salad, cut the broccoli florets and place in a pot filled with boiling water. Boil for 3-4 minutes, remove and set aside.
Chop the tomato and remaining onion. If you want, you can soak the onion in salted water to reduce its bitterness.
Mix the tomato, onion and broccoli. Season with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
