Lentil Patties with Olives and Herbs
These lentil patties with olives and herbs are not only really easy to make but also will impress even your non-veg friends!
Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 bunch parsley chopped
- 1 onion diced
- 1 egg or 2 Tbsp psyllium husks
- 4 Tbsps nutritional yeast
- ½ cup black olives sliced
- ⅔ cup breadcrumbs more or less
- salt and ground pepper to taste
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Add lentils in a pot and cover them with water. From the moment they start boiling, let them boil for about 15 minutes and then remove from heat.
- Strain the lentils very well and put them in a large bowl. Start mashing them a little, using a fork.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, except oil.
- Using a fork, or your hands, start mixing the composition. It has to be sticky and easy to shape. If it’s not it means that you didn’t strain the lentils very good and the composition is too wet. No problem, just add more breadcrumbs until it has a dough-like consistency.
- Spray a non-stick pan with some oil. Not too much. Put each patty on the frying pan and let it fry about 2 minutes on each side.
Notes
You can bake them too. Grease a large pan and place the patties. Cook 15 minutes on one side and another 15 on the other, at 180C.
