3/4 cup walnuts, toasted cooled
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
3/4 cup lentils, cooked, drained, and cooled
4 tablespoons olive oil

3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1
In a food processor, combine walnuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; process until finely ground. Add lentils and 1 tablespoon oil; pulse until coarsely chopped (some lentils should remain whole).

In a large bowl, whisk egg. Add lentil mixture; mix well. Divide into 4 equal-size parts; roll into balls, and flatten with the palm of your hand into 3/4-inch-thick patties.
3
Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add burgers; cook over medium-low heat until crisp and browned, turning gently with a thin-edged spatula, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, cilantro, and lemon; season with salt and pepper.
5
Assemble burgers and top with yogurt sauce, sliced red tomatoes and lettuce.
