Lentil Patties

It's been a while since I posted a recipe, but since it is Great Lent, I'm trying to take things slow.

But I really wanted to share this recipe! Those Lentil and Rice patties are so good, that my friend Victoria when tried them, thought it was made with meat:)

Here is the recipe:

Green lentils 2 cups (soaked overnight or at least 4 hours)

White (or brown) rice 1 cup cooked

Medium sweet onion

Herbs - dill, parsley or cilantro

Pinch of Nutmeg

Salt pepper to taste

Oil for cooking

Instructions:

In food processor combine together soaked lentils and onions.

Add cooked rice, herbs, salt, pepper, and a nutmeg. Mix well together using your hands.

Form round patties, pressing all the ingredients together

Carefully transfer patties to the heated oil and fry on each side 4-5 minutes. Note: do not use hight heat, rather cook them on medium-low. If you will use hight heat, patties will be cooked outside, but not inside.

Transfer to the plate and eat right away! It is really good!

P.S. I also added this amazing Trade Joe's UMAMI seasoning blend. I use it everywhere:) It adds depth to any dish!
