Instructions
Burger buns
- Dissolve the yeast and salt in the water.
- Then stir the oats and rye kernels into the water.
- Now add the flour and knead the dough thoroughly until it comes together.
- Fold the dough and let it rise, covered, for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape 16–20 burger buns.
- Optionally, use baking rings or metal rings for a uniform shape. Once the burger buns are formed, roll them in sesame seeds.
- Let the buns rise for about 30 minutes until they’ve puffed up slightly.
- Bake the buns in the middle of the oven until they are light brown – about 10–15 minutes.
Lentil patties
- Rinse the red lentils thoroughly in a sieve.
- Heat a pot with plenty of water and add the lentils along with a pinch of salt.
- Cook the lentils until tender, about 10 minutes – they should be soft but still hold their shape.
- Let the lentils drain completely, then mix them in a bowl with eggs, flour, cheese, and spices.
- If the batter is very wet, you can add a little extra flour or oats.
- Shape the mixture into lentil patties and fry them on both sides over medium heat until they are lightly browned.
Tomato salsa
- Dice the tomatoes and place them in a bowl.
- Skær peberfrugter i små tern og hak jalapenos, inden de tilføjes til skålen med tomaterne.
- Dice the bell peppers and chop the jalapeños, then add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
- Season the tomato salsa with salt and pepper.
Serving
- Spread hummus on the buns and assemble with the lentil patties, tomato salsa, and romaine lettuce.
