INGREDIENTS

0.5 cup canned black beans

0.25 cup cooked brown lentils

1 tbsp hemp hearts

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

25 g unflavored pea protein powder

1 tsp ground flaxseed

0.25 cup diced red onion

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.13 whole avocado

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

2 large romaine lettuce leaves

PREPARATION

• 1

  Rinse the black beans and pat them very dry with a paper towel to ensure a firm burger texture.

• 2

  In a large bowl, mash the black beans and cooked lentils with a fork until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.

• 3

  Stir in the hemp hearts, nutritional yeast, pea protein powder, ground flaxseed, diced red onion, cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into thick patties, pressing firmly so they hold together.

• 5

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

• 6

  While the burgers cook, mash the avocado with lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl until the crema is velvety and smooth.

• 7

  Place the hot patties onto large romaine lettuce leaves and top generously with the avocado crema before serving.
