    1 Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Gently fry the onion and garlic for several min, until the onion is translucent. Add the mixed herbs and cook for 1 min.

    2 In a large bowl, combine the lentils, egg, breadcrumbs and tomato purée with the onion mix and crush lightly with a potato masher to bring the mixture together.

    3 Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan. Shape the lentil mix into four burgers. Lightly fry both sides until the burgers are dark golden (about 4–6 min in total). Remove them from the pan and put on kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.

    Serving suggestion

    Serve the burgers in the sliced bread rolls, topped with the hummus, tomatoes and lettuce and garnished with the parsley.
