Cilantro Aioli
Instructions
Rinse lentils thoroughly and cook in 2 cups of water until very tender, 45-60 minutes. Meanwhile in a microwave or oven, bake sweet potatoes until soft. Once cooled, remove skin and mash.
Saute onions and garlic in 1 tbsp of coconut oil until translucent. Add to cooked lentils along with spices, quinoa, spinach and mashed sweet potatoes. Stir to combine. While stirring add flour and cornstarch until fully incorporated.
Shape into patties and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side until slightly browned.
Prepare the aioli by mixing together all the ingredients. Top each burger with aioli, chutney and arugula and enjoy!
