Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lentils
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (for coriander cream)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt (for coriander cream)
Instructions
Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash them using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.
Stir in the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, diced onion, chopped parsley, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Add additional oil if needed for the second batch.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the coriander cream by stirring together the Greek yogurt, chopped coriander, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the lentil chickpea patties warm on a bun or a bed of greens with a dollop of coriander cream. Optional toppings include sliced tomato, cucumber, or lettuce.
