Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dry brown lentils
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free flour
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Rinse the lentils under cold water and pick out any debris. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain and cool slightly.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated carrot, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables, ground cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, then stir it into the lentil mixture.
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs and gluten-free flour to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties using your hands.
Spray a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the lentil patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.
Serve the lentil patties warm as a main dish, in a sandwich, or on a salad.
