Try it Tuesday! Lentil Patties

These patties come together in about 30 minutes and are perfect as the main course.  They freeze exceptionally well so it’s ideal for large batch cooking.

Lentil Patties

3/4 Cup Lentils

1 Cup water or broth

1 Egg (or egg substitute)

4 Tbs flour of choice

Half of a small onion chopped

Half of a bell pepper chopped

2 Tsp Garlic

1 Tsp Paprika

2 Tsp Parsley

1 Tsp Onion

1 Tsp Cumin

2-4 Tbs Oil of choice

Salt/Pepper to taste

Cook lentils according to instructions in the water/broth.  As that is cooking, sautee the onion and pepper in a saucepan with a tablespoon or so of oil.  Cook until onions are transparent.  Once the lentils are cooked, put into a food processor with the cooked onion/peppers and pulse a few times (don’t overmix, you want a bit of texture left).  Put the lentil into a medium sized bowl and add in all the other ingredients (except the oil).  Once mixed well, form into patties.  This recipe will make about 8 patties.  Heat your skillet that you used for the onions and peppers back up to medium/medium high heat with a little bit of oil.  Place patties in the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through; about 4 minutes on each side.  Serve with sauce of choice; try mixing siracha into mayo or sour cream for a tasty dipping sauce. Enjoy!
