Steps
1
Combine sliced red onions, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water in a bowl and let sit for at least 1 hour.
2
Cook lentils until just tender, according to package instructions. (Rinse lentils before cooking. Place 1 cup lentils in a large pot with 4 cups water and ½ tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes; drain well.)
3
Once cooked, spread lentils evenly on a sheet pan and cool for 10-15 minutes.
4
Once cooled, add lentils to a mixing bowl with chopped mushrooms, smoked paprika and olive oil and mash the mixture, leaving some bigger pieces.
5
Add flour and continue to stir until the mixture holds together, and then form into 6 patties and season with salt and pepper.
6
Working in batches, cook burger patties in a non stick pan with olive oil until well browned on both sides.
7
To build the burger, generously squeeze the Sir Kensington's Everything Sauce of choice on both the top and bottom bun. Top burger with sliced cucumbers, greens and pickled red onions.
