Yellow Split Pea Veggies Burgers

STEP 1

In a large 2-quart stockpot, heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and jalapeño and a ½ teaspoon salt. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and mushrooms, cumin and paprika and cook for 5 more minutes.

STEP 2

Then add broth and split peas and bring to a boil. Lower to medium low and simmer uncovered for 60 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.

STEP 3

Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes and mix with a potato masher until just combined but still chunky. Add in ½ cup Panko bread crumbs, lemon juice, egg and ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and combine.

STEP 4

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

STEP 5

Form the mixture into 4 patties and coat in remaining Panko bread crumbs. Heat 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and cool until browned on each side and heated through, about 3 minutes per side.

STEP 6

Serve over greens or on pita with toppings of your choice.
