Step 1
Place lentils, water, cinnamon and garlic in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain well and discard cinnamon stick.

Add carrot, oats and parsley to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs. Add lentil mixture, egg, spices and seasoning. Pulse until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5
Serve patties in buns with greens, cucumber, carrot, beetroot and mint, drizzled with mustard dressing.
