Lentil Patties Recipe
Ingredients:
• 2 cups red lentils, rinsed and soaked
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic
• A small bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon organic turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Lentils:
• Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and soak them in water for at least 1 hour. Drain well before using.
2. Combine Ingredients:
• Add the soaked and drained lentils, chopped onion, carrot, garlic, cilantro, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, and salt to a food processor.
3. Process the Mixture:
• Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it forms a coarse, but well-combined mixture. You want it to hold together but still have some texture.
4. Shape the Patties:
• Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties. You can make them as large or small as you prefer, but 2-3 inches in diameter is a good size.
5. Fry the Patties:
• Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve
• Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a part of a meal.
Enjoy!
