Rinse lentils in cold water until it runs clear. Boil 2 cups water in a small pot over medium heat, add lentils, bring to simmer and cook until the lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
(If cooking immediately) Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium and fry onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until soft and cooked.
Turn off heat, add coconut aminos or soy sauce, cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper and let cook for about 30 seconds.
Set aside to cool.
Process oats in a food processor to form a rough flour.
Add cooked lentils and mushrooms and pulse until just combined. Mixture should still have some texture and not be completely pureed.
Transfer to a bowl, and let rest for about 10 minutes. Optionally, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
Shape burgers: Line a 1-cup measuring cup with plastic wrap, add a portion of the burger mix and press down to pack. Lift out of cup with lining edge, and transfer to lightly baking sheet.
OR Use slightly wet/greased hands and and shape into ¾” thick patties.
