Preparations
- Preheat the oven to 220 C (428 F).
- Wash the potatoes, cut in half lengthways and cut each half into 3-4 wedges.
- Peel the cucumber, then using a vegetable peeler, peel long strips to form (Discard the middle, seeded part). Place the cucumber in a sieve with a ¼ tsp of salt for 10 minutes to drain.
- Peel/dice the carrot into ½ cm pieces.
- Peel/finely chop the onion.
- Drain/rinse the lentils in a sieve. Transfer to a bowl and mash with the back of a fork.
- Chop the coriander.
- Place the potatoes into a bowl with ½ a tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Mix to coat and layer into a baking tray and cook near the top of the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and crispy around the edges.
- In a skillet, heat ½ a tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and cook for a few minutes before adding the curry paste and continue to cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- Add the onion/carrot mixture to the lentils with the breadcrumbs, chopped coriander and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Mix to combine and form into a patty. Set aside in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Place the cucumber between a few sheets of kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. Place into a bowl with a tbsp of yoghurt and a pinch of black pepper.
- Heat a frying over medium-high heat, slice the brioche in half and toast in the pan for a few minutes on each side until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate.
- Add ½ a tbsp of olive oil in the same pan. Add the lentil patty and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until warmed through with a golden crust.
- Place the lentil burger onto the bottom brioche and top with the rocket, cucumber relish and the brioche top.
- Serve with the potato wedge on the side.
