Lentil Burgers

I told my mom I would get her this recipe courtesy of www.recipezaar.com
Although we never have all the ingredients so I just use season-all and basil and lemon juice, an egg, the lentils, water, onion, oats and lemon juice. We also shred carrots and put it in them. Then we fry them up in a little olive oil and we normally only get like 6 burgers but they are fat burgers and they are very filling. Oh and we season our lentils with chicken stock. We don't normally bake them. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
