How to Prepare French Lentil and Mushroom Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Soak lentils in water for 3 hours prior to beginning. Rinse, add lentils to a pot with 2 cups water, and cook until soft. Once cooked, drain excess water and transfer to a large, deep bowl.
In a frying pan, heat oil. Cook onion for a few minutes, then add spices and garlic and cook until the onion is golden. Add to the bowl with the lentils.
Crumble tofu and add to the bowl.
Using a hand beater or blender, blend the ingredients until combined. Add tomato purée, bread crumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
With damp hands, form your burgers. Either fry in a skillet until golden on both sides or bake at 355°F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Prepare your topping ingredients and serve immediately.
