Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Drain lentils. • In a medium bowl, mash lentils with half the mayonnaise, 1 tsp Tunisian Spice Blend, ½ tsp cumin, salt, and pepper (2 tsp Tunisian Spice Blend and 1 tsp cumin for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the Tunisian Spice Blend—we sent more!) • In a small bowl, combine panko and ½ tsp soy sauce (1 tsp for 4); stir until evenly combined. TIP: Use double the soy sauce for an extra umami kick!
• Stir panko mixture into bowl with lentil mixture until evenly combined. • Form mixture into four patties (eight patties for 4 servings), each about the size of a burger bun. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook until browned and warmed through, 4-5 minutes per side. TIP: For a crispier burger, add another drizzle of oil when flipping and cook a little longer on the second side.
• While patties cook, quarter lemon. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Halve and toast buns.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining cumin, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from half the lemon, salt, and pepper. • Add arugula, tomato, and cucumber; toss until evenly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Fill buns with patties, guacamole, and a pinch of salad. TIP: Spread remaining mayonnaise on bottom buns if you like. Be sure to add cucumber and tomato to your burger with the salad!
• Divide burgers and remaining salad between plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty spices, especially the Tunisian blend. Some found it bland; consider adding extra herbs or garlic for more depth 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Patties were challenging to form and cook; they often fell apart or became mushy. Try cooking longer for a crispier texture.
- Suggestions: Make smaller, single patties for easier eating. Add finely minced onion or cilantro to the mix for extra flavor and binding.
- Portions: One patty per burger was plenty for most; using both made sandwiches too large to eat comfortably.
- Texture: Some found the burgers dry, others mushy. Cook longer to reduce moisture, or add more binder for a firmer consistency.
