How to Prepare Lentil Walnut Burgers [Vegan]

To make the burgers, add the lentils to a pot, and cover them with enough water to have a few inches above the lentils. Bring to a simmer, and cook for about 40 minutes until the lentils are tender. Drain and set aside.
In a pan, heat the olive oil and onions, and cook until the onions are softened and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sautée a minute more until fragrant. Add to a food processor, along with lentils, and all other loaf ingredients. Pulse until everything is blended but not completely smooth.
Preheat the oven to 375°F degrees, and line a sheet pan with parchment. Shape into 4 burgers and set on the pan. Place in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes until set.
