Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cooked Lentils
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Parsley & Cilantro
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Oat Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. If using dried lentils, cook according to package directions until very soft, then drain well. If using canned, drain and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Place the cooked lentils, parsley, garlic, cumin, and lemon juice in a food processor.
  3. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. The texture should be like a thick paste.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the oats to help bind the mixture.
  5. Using a tablespoon measure, portion out the mixture. With damp hands, shape into small flat patties.
  6. To pan-fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  7. To bake: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly browned.
  8. Let cool before serving. The flat shape is easy for baby's palmar grasp.
