    text: Many enjoyed the tasty spices, especially the Tunisian blend. Some found it bland; consider adding extra herbs or garlic for more depth.
  - theme: Ease of prep
    text: Patties were challenging to form and cook; they often fell apart or became mushy. Try cooking longer for a crispier texture.

![Step 1](step-1.jpg)
Wash and dry all produce.
Drain @lentils{2%unit}. In a #medium bowl{}, mash lentils with half the @mayonnaise{4%tbsp}, 1 tsp @Tunisian Spice Blend{1%tbsp}, 1/2 tsp @cumin{2%tsp}, @salt{}, and @pepper{} (2 tsp Tunisian Spice Blend and 1 tsp cumin for 4 servings). Be sure to measure and measure the Tunisian Spice Blend; we sent more!
In a #small bowl{}, combine @panko breadcrumbs{2%cup} and 1/2 tsp @soy sauce{2%tbsp} (1 tsp for 4); stir until evenly combined. TIP: Use double the soy sauce for an extra umami kick!

![Step 2](step-2.jpg)
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 @cooking oil{} in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add patties and cook until browned and warmed through, ~{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.

![Step 3](step-3.jpg)
While patties cook, quarter @lemon{2%unit}. Dice @tomato{2%unit} into 1/4-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice @mini cucumber{2%unit} into rounds. Halve and toast @brioche buns{4%unit}.

![Step 4](step-4.jpg)
In a #g bag, whisk together remaining cumin, a drizzle of @olive oil{}, juice from half the lemon, @salt{}, and @pepper{}. Add @arugula{4%ounce}, tomato, and cucumber; toss until evenly coated. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.

![Step 5](step-5.jpg)
Fill buns with patties, @guacamole{8%tbsp}, 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.
