Ingredients

• 4 cups grated raw peeled beets (about 4 medium beets)
• 3/4 cup large flake rolled oats
• 1 can (14 oz) cooked lentils
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoon natural peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons of cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Burger toppings:

• Buns
• Onions
• Pickles
• Tomatoes
• Pickles beets
• lettuces
• Mayonaisse
• Hot sauce

Instructions

1. Grate beets with the grater. Then add the beets, along with all of the remaining ingredients to the food processor. Mix until the mixture comes together.
   • The consistency should be like egg whites beaten to stiff peaks. Add more oats or flour to obtain the right consistency.
2. Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the the mixture and form the patties about the size of your buns in the frying pan.
   • Cooking them low and slow is the key for good texture.
3. Cook about 3 to 5 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned on both sides and hold together well.

Serve hot on a bun with your favourite burger toppings.
