- You must process these ingredients with the help of a mixer or in a blender.
- It does not matter if the mixture is more liquid than firm, the ideal is that when we are cooking them they have a firmer consistency so that the lentil and quinoa burgers are formed.
- Now add the breadcrumb and mix with the help of a spoon.
- This will help our mixture to have more consistency and body at the time of preparation.
- If you want the burgers to be vegan, check that the breadcrumb is from a vegan bread.
- Bring a skillet to medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil to the entire skillet.
- Once you see that the pan is hot, with the help of a spoon add the dough and form two circles, with the help of a spatula we must push the edges from the outside in, helping to shape the hamburger.
- Once you see that the burgers are golden on one side, very carefully turn them over with the help of the spatula.
