Lentil Patties Recipes

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Boil lentils in pot of water until soft.
• Beat egg, add salt, thyme, turmeric and chopped onion.

• Chill covered in fridge approximately 30 minutes.
• Heat oil. Fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Make the burgers: Combine 2 cups water, the lentils, rice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until tender, 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 10 minutes. If there is water left in the saucepan, cook, uncovered, until evaporated.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the kale, garlic, cumin, curry powder and allspice. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pulse the oats in a food processor until finely ground with some coarse pieces. Add the warm lentil mixture and the vegetable mixture and pulse until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. Form into four 4-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl; let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the tahini, 2 tablespoons water and the hot sauce, thinning with more water, if needed. Season with salt and more hot sauce to taste.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the burgers with olive oil on both sides. Grill until well marked, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the pitas until warmed. Serve the burgers in the pitas with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and the tahini sauce.

Steps:

• For the burgers: Heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add the shallots, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Blend the peas and 1 can lentils until smooth in a blender. Transfer the pureed peas and lentils to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 can lentils, 1/3 cup cornmeal, mayonnaise, lemon juice and the mushroom mixture. Form 1/3-cupfuls of the mixture into eleven 3/4-inch-thick slider patties.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup cornmeal on a baking sheet. Place the burgers on top of the cornmeal. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cornmeal on top of the burgers. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium heat in the skillet. Cook the burgers until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side.
• For the mayonnaise: Mix the mayonnaise, basil and lemon zest until smooth in a small bowl.
• Working in batches, place the bread in the skillet and cook until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. The bread can also be grilled or toasted in an oven.
• Smear the mayonnaise on the bread and top with the lentil burgers. Serve with avocado if using, tomato, lettuce and top with the remaining the bread slices.

Steps:

• Bring the lentils and 1 3/4 cup of the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer until the lentils are fully softened and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
