Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Marinate the sliced onion in the lemon juice for 30 mins; drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the chopped onion for 2-3 mins. Add the lentils and turn up the heat. Cook for 2 mins to evaporate any liquid, adding the cumin towards the end. Tip into a bowl.
- Add the carrots, breadcrumbs and egg to the bowl and mix. Fold in the feta and shape into 4 burgers, each 8cm wide and 2cm tall. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper; bake for 20 mins. Arrange the halved burger buns on another baking tray and add to the oven to warm through for the final 2 mins.
- For the tzatziki, mix the cucumber with the yogurt and mint; season. Divide the burgers between burger bun bases, then top tzatziki, pickled onions and rocket and sandwich with the bun lids.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze burgers only. Wrap well in clingfilm and tin foil (to prevent freezer burn) and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before continuing with the recipe method.
