1 Preheat oven to 200C. Spray capsicum with oil and bake on a baking tray for 25 minutes or until skin is blackened on all sides. Remove from oven and put in a plastic bag. When cool enough to touch remove skin and seeds. Roughly chop and put in a food processor.

3 Add onion mixture to capsicum with half of the lentils, chilli, semi-dried tomato, mint, herb pepper and ½ cup of the breadcrumbs. Pulse until roughly chopped and well combined. Transfer 
to a bowl. Add remaining lentils.

4 Form 4 patties. Put remaining breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Coat patties with breadcrumbs. Put on a large plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

5 Heat remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 2–3 minutes or until golden. Turn and cook for a further 2–3 minutes.

6 Put base of bread rolls on 4 serving plates. Spread with hummus. Top with lettuce, beetroot, pattie and a dollop of mayonnaise and tomato sauce. Add avocado and tomato. Close burger with top of bread roll. Serve immediately.
