Italian Herb Lentil Patties With Mozzarella Recipes

Steps:

• Cook lentils according to package directions; drain and cool slightly., In a large bowl, combine eggs and seasonings; stir in cooked lentils and oatmeal. Shape into ten 3/4-in.-thick patties., In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook patties in batches 4-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and a thermometer reads 160°, adding additional oil as needed. Top with cheese; cook 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. If desired, serve with marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the ground turkey and the first 9 ingredients well - then, divide evenly and shape into burger patties, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil, or - place a silpat on a cookie sheet & preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the salami slices evenly (but not touching) on the covered cookie sheet. Bake salami in the 325 degree oven for 15 minutes - then, transfer salami slices to a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oils.
• Grill burgers either on a hot outdoor grill, or cast iron stove top grill - approximately 5 minutes per side for medium rare - longer for well done (whatever your preference may be). Slice the Italian bread or Ciabatta into even slices - enough for 2 slices per patty & brush or use your 'misto' sprayer on one side with E.V.O.O. (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)& grill (oil side down) to get the grill prints on the bread. Once Burgers are cooked, remove to a platter where they can rest for approximately 5 minutes. Remove grilled Bread and place 1/4 cup of the shredded light Mozzarella cheese, then the Burger, then the Salami (2 slices per burger). You can then serve the burgers with either a very good prepared Marinara Pasta Sauce or your favorite condiment.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Hand squeeze out as much of the moisture in the zucchini as possible (this is important!).
• Place the zucchini in a large bowl.
• Add in all remaining ingredients except oil.
• Mix well to combine and adjust seasoning salt and black pepper to taste.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Drop the zucchini mixture by heaping tablespoons into hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
