Lentil Patties with Olives and Herbs

These lentil patties with olives and herbs are easy to make and ready in just 25 minutes, with enough flavor to impress even your non-veg friends.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Choose Serving Size 15 lentil patties

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 bunch parsley chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 egg or 2 Tbsp psyllium husks
  • 4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup black olives sliced
  • ⅔ cup breadcrumbs more or less
  • salt and ground pepper to taste
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Add the lentils to a pot and cover them with water. From the moment they start boiling, let them boil for about 15 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Strain the lentils very well and put them in a large bowl. Start mashing them a little with a fork.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil.
  • Using a fork or your hands, start mixing the composition. It should be sticky and easy to shape. If it isn't, it means the lentils weren't strained well enough and the mixture is too wet. No problem, just add more breadcrumbs until it has a dough-like consistency.
  • Spray a non-stick pan with a little oil (not too much). Place each patty in the pan and fry for about 2 minutes on each side.

Notes

You can bake these instead of frying: grease a large pan, place the patties, and bake at 180C for 15 minutes on each side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
