Lentilpatties Recipes

LENTIL PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine lentils, celery, carrot, water and spices in large saucepan.
• Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until mixture thickens; cool.
• Stir in half of the breadcrumbs.
• Shape mixture into patties (makes about 8); toss in flour.
• Dip in egg, then in combined remaining breadcrumbs and parsley.
• (Can be made one day ahead at this stage and refrigerated, covered, or frozen for up to 6 months).
• Heat oil in large non-stick frypan; cook patties until well browned both sides. Drain on absorbent paper and serve as desired.

LENTIL CAKES (PATTIES)

Steps:

• Place lentils and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cooked lentils, milk, wheat and barley cereal, eggs and walnuts. Season with onion soup mix and poultry seasoning. Mix well using your hands, as the mixture will be very thick. Let stand for 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out balls of the lentil mixture. Drop the scoops into bread crumbs, and coat while flattening into patties. Fry burgers in the hot skillet until nicely browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the patties.

LENTIL BURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse lentils in a food processor until coarsely ground; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Mix onion, egg, bell pepper, and bread crumbs with the lentils; add mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper to the lentils and mix.
• Divide the mixture into four equally sized portions, roll into balls, and flatten into patties.
• Spread cornmeal into a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge patties in cornmeal to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in skillet until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
