Ingredients:
2 x 400g cans lentils, drained, rinsed
2 eggs
250g cottage cheese

Method:
To make the patties, place half the lentils in a food processor. Add 1 egg and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add the remaining lentils, cottage cheese, spring onion, carrot, chilli and 1 1/2 cups of the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine then form into 8 patties and transfer to a plate.
Place flour into a shallow bowl. Whisk remaining egg in a separate shallow bowl with 1 tbsp cold water. Combine remaining breadcrumbs and walnuts in a separate bowl.
Lightly coat each patty in flour, egg wash and finish with walnut breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. In two batches, add 4 patties and cook for 5 mins each side until golden and heated through.
Serve each patty on hamburger bun with salads and a generous spoonful of Sweet Chilli Relish.
