- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Marinate the sliced onion in the lemon juice for 30 mins; drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and cook the chopped onion for 2-3 mins. Add the lentils and turn up the heat. Cook for 2 mins to evaporate any liquid, adding the cumin towards the end. Tip into a bowl.
- Add the carrots, breadcrumbs and egg to the bowl and mix. Fold in the feta and shape into 4 burgers, each 8cm wide and 2cm tall. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper; bake for 20 mins. Arrange the halved burger buns on another baking tray and add to the oven to warm through for the final 2 mins.
- For the tzatziki, mix the cucumber with the yogurt and mint; season. Divide the burgers between burger bun bases, then top tzatziki, pickled onions and rocket and sandwich with the bun lids.
