@jen.eats.plants: This is basically a cheeseburger crossed with an arayes with a lentil twist and honestly… I’m obsessed. 🍔 Cheeseburger stuffed pita pockets (makes 2) For the lentil cheeseburger filling: 240g canned lentils, well drained 1/4 red onion, very finely diced 2–3 burger pickles, finely diced 1 tbsp tomato purée 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp nutritional yeast 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp mustard powder 1/2 tsp Marmite 1/4 tsp MSG, optional black pepper 1 tbsp breadcrumbs, plus more if needed To assemble: 2 pita breads 2–4 slices burger cheese For the Big Mac sauce: 3 tbsp mayo 1 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp finely chopped burger pickles 1 tsp yellow mustard 1/2 tsp pickle brine 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder tiny pinch smoked paprika tiny pinch sugar black pepper Method: Add the lentils to a bowl and roughly mash with your hands or a fork, leaving some texture. Add the red onion, pickles, tomato purée, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, spices, Marmite, MSG and black pepper. Mix well, then add the breadcrumbs and mix until the filling is thick and mouldable. Add a little more breadcrumbs if needed. Carefully cut a slit into each pita and stuff with half of the lentil mixture and the cheese, making sure the filling is packed in tightly. Press the pita closed so the filling is evenly distributed. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the stuffed pitas and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted. For the Big Mac sauce, mix everything together in a bowl and adjust to taste. Slice the crispy pitas in half and serve with plenty of Big Mac sauce for dipping.
