Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F.
Step 2
Place the milled flax into a small bowl, add the 6 tablespoons of water and stir. Set aside to absorb. It will look shiny, smooth and thick when it is ready.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion, carrot and garlic and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Then add the drained lentils and cook in the same pan with the onion and carrot until the liquid on the lentils has evaporated, 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and give everything in the pan a rough mash with the back of a fork. The lentils should be broken down and mushy but still have some texture.
Step 4
While the onion and carrot is frying blitz the sunflower seeds by placing in a high speed blender and pulsing until you have a thick flour like texture, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Place the contents of the pan into a large bowl. Add the blitzed sunflower seeds, porridge oats, milled flax, chopped basil, lemon zest, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Step 6
Shape into six equal sized patties, roughly the width of the palm of your hand.
Step 7
Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes.
