Add the garlic, lentils, cumin, coriander, parsley and lemon juice. Mash by hand or puree roughly in a food processor or blender, until the mixture holds together. Season with salt and pepper. 3. With floured hands, shape the mixture into 10-12 flat burgers, using a palette knife. Coat the burgers with flour. 4. Fry the burgers in a little oil until crisp and brownedl, turning them over carefully to fry the second side. 5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve garnished with watercress and tomato. Alternatively, serve on hamburger buns (which is what the McEwens do)
