Ingredients

• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 extra-large red onion
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 medium garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 ¼ cups tomato sauce, plus more needed
• ⅔ cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained and diced
• ⅓ cup oil-packed unsalted sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped
• 1 (14 ounce/398 ml) can lentils, drained and rinsed
• 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, to taste
• 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons unpacked brown sugar, to taste
• ½ to ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper
• ½ to 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, to taste
• cashew sour cream (in staples)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Open each bun and place them split side up on a large baking sheet. Set aside.
2. Slice the red onion in half. Slice half into very thin rounds, rinse, drain, and set aside to garnish the burgers later. Finely chop the other half. (You should have about one cup).
3. In a large skillet or pot, heat that oil over medium heat. Add the one cup finely chopped onion and garlic and stir to coat with the oil. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until the onion has softened. It is important that the onions are tender.
4. Stir in the chili powder and cumin, and cook for a minute, more, until fragrant .Add tomato sauce, roasted, red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, drained lentils, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar (starting with 1 ½ tablespoons), salt and black pepper to taste. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, until slightly thickened.
5. Well, the little mixture, simmers, toast the buns in the oven for 6 to 10 minutes, until lightly roasted. This adds a lovely texture contrast to the soft lentil mixture.
6. Stir the vinegar into the lentil mixture. Taste and add more salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar, if desired. Reduce the heat to low and cover until ready to serve.
7. Add a big scoop of warm lentil mixture to the bottom of each toasted bun and top with the sliced onions. Add a generous dollop of cashew sour cream to each, if desired, and close the bonds. Serve immediately.

Notes

*One 14-ounce can of lentils is equivalent to 1 1/2 cups cooked lentils if you prefer to cook them from scratch.
