Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dry green or brown lentils
- 500 ml water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, grated carrot
- 1 medium, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 50 grams oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
Rinse the lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the 500 ml of water to a boil, add the lentils, and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess water and let them cool slightly.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped red bell pepper, and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked lentils, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the lentil mixture until it holds together but still has some texture.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and stir it into the lentil mixture along with oat flour and 25 grams of breadcrumbs.
Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 1 cm thick each. Coat each patty with the remaining breadcrumbs on both sides.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and firm.
Serve warm and enjoy as a main dish or in a burger bun with your favorite toppings.
