Tasty Lentil Patties

I love these lentil patties that are high in protein, easy to make and very tasty! You can also play with the recipe to add your favourite spices and herbs. The original recipe comes from Vegan ASMR Cooking.

Instructions:

1. Soak 1.5 cups of dry red lentils for 2 hrs, covered with 2 inches of water and then drain and place in a food processor.
2. Chop 1 large shallot, 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup fresh parsley and grate 1 small carrot all placed in food processor
3. Optional – Add 1 tbsp tomato paste
4. Add one tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
5. Pulse in food processor until well combined and it will feel sticky. For less dry patties you can mix in a small amount of plain yogurt.
6. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and scoop 1/4 cup of mixture at a time and shape into 1/2 inch patties.
7. Cook 3 minutes each side or until golden and crispy.
8. Add your favourite salad and veggies to the lentil patties for a nutritious, tasty and colourful lunch or dinner.
