These Savory Lentil Patties are a delicious meatless substitute that will satisfy your cravings. These patties are both healthy and delicious since they are full of lentils and vegetables and have been spiced just so. Here's a quick way to make them:
What you need:
1.5 cups (about 285 grams) of red lentils: dry
1/2 of a big shallot, minced
2 minced garlic cloves
Use 15 grams, or 1/4 cup, of shredded carrot from one tiny carrot. finely minced, fresh parsley
2 tablespoons of pureed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon of salt
half a teaspoon of ground pepper
Use olive oil in your recipes
Not required Binding Ingredients (omit eggs for an egg-free version):
half a cup of baking mix
one or two eggs (if you don't have any on hand, you may want to use a binder made of flaxseed powder and water instead).
Instructions:
To begin, give the red lentils a good rinsing and simmer them until they are soft but not mushy, following the directions on the box. After cooking, remove any surplus water and allow them to cool for a little.
Vegetables Sautéd: A little olive oil heated in a pan over medium heat can do the trick. Toss in the grated carrot, minced garlic, and chopped shallot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the carrot is softened and aromatic. Let the ingredients cool.
In a large basin, mix together the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables, chopped parsley, tomato puree, salt, and black pepper. Mash to blend. For a little texture, softly mash the ingredients using a fork or potato masher. Now is the time to add the eggs and/or breadcrumbs for binding and mix everything together well.
Roll Out: Flatten the ingredients into patty shapes. You may adjust the consistency by adding more breadcrumbs if the mixture is very moist.
In a pan over medium heat, heat a thin coating of olive oil to cook the patties. To get a golden brown and crispy exterior, cook the patties for about three to four minutes each side.
Savor these flavorful lentil patties when they're still hot, topped with your favorite veggies or served as a burger patty. They're tasty either alone or topped with a little yogurt or tahini sauce.
A vegan alternative can be just as fulfilling, as these lentil patties demonstrate, thanks to the adaptability and abundance of plant-based components. Try these patties if you're vegetarian or just trying to eat more plant-based foods.
