Savor the Flavor: Delectable Vegetarian Burger Recipe

Ingredients

• Sufficient water for soaking
• A generous cup of dried lentils
• A touch of wheat germ
• Finely diced small onion for added flavor
• Delicately chopped green bell pepper, just half a cup
• Sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese
• One beaten egg to bind it all together
• A tablespoon of finely chopped green chile pepper for a kick
• A clove of garlic, minced with care
• Season with a dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper
• A quarter cup of vegetable oil, divided for cooking

Step 1

Begin by filling a pot with water, ensuring it covers the lentils and wheat germ entirely. Bring the water to a lively boil before gently introducing the lentils and wheat germ. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer until the lentils reach a tender state, remembering to add more water if necessary. This process typically takes around 20 to 25 minutes. Once cooked, move the pot from the heat source and let it cool slightly. Proceed by mashing the lentil concoction until it achieves a thick and lumpy texture.

Step 2

Transfer the mashed lentils into a spacious bowl and combine them with diced onions, vibrant green bell peppers, gooey mozzarella cheese, a whisked egg, zesty green chile pepper, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly integrated to form a cohesive mixture before shaping them into 8 delectable patties.

Step 3

In a generously sized skillet, heat approximately 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Once heated, adjust the heat to medium-high and carefully place 4 patties into the sizzling oil. Allow each patty to cook until achieving a golden-brown hue, which typically takes about 3 minutes per side. Continue this process with the remaining oil and patties until all are beautifully cooked and ready to be enjoyed.
