Lentil and Sunflower Seed Burgers image

Time does not include a few hours refrigeration time. This was one of the best vegetarian burgers I have made. The entire family loved it even the meat-eaters! I used oats for the breadcrumbs as well for the gluten intolerant amongst us. Served on wholegrain rolls with spinach, tomatoes, pickled cucumbers and bbq sauce...very very good.
