There are so many things to love about this bobotie burger, it’s difficult to know where to begin, Chef! Let’s start with the homemade cheesy lentil patty, which is flavoured with a special UCOOK bobotie spice. This is nestled between toasted burger bun halves with crispy greens, tangy gherkins & a sweet, silky onion & sultana salsa, served with oven-roasted potato.

BOBOTIE-SPICED POTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Potato on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the bobotie spice, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CHUTNEY & SULTANA Onion
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Fry the sliced Onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add the sultanas and the chutney. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
LENTIL PATTY
Add the lentils, the diced Onion (to taste), the Garlic, the cheese and the remaining bobotie spice to a food processor or blender. Pulse until everything has been chopped well but not too finely (don’t over-blend - it doesn’t need to be smooth!). Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in 1 egg, the breadcrumbs, a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the lentil mixture into 2 [4]|#7DA0D7 patties, about 2cm thick. Set aside.

Halve the burger bun/s, and spread butter or oil over the cut side. Return the pan, wiped clean, to medium heat. Toast the bun/s, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
