- Place the mixture into a mixing bowl and add the remaining lentils and bread crumbs. Mix with a spatula. Chill for 30 minutes. Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Scoop out3.5 ounce portions (½ cup) of the burger mixture into the frying pan and flatten slightly using a spatula. Cook for 2 and a half to 3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until golden brown and crispy.
