Lentil Potato Patties Recipes

LENTIL POTATO CURRY PATTIES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into large cubes and boil with salt, onion and garlic. Cutting the potatoes in cubes will help them cook faster and they will better absorb the flavor of the onion and garlic.
• When the potatoes are ready, take them out of the water and let them cool.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until the potatoes are puréed. Then add the lentils, spices and corn flour and mix thoroughly.
• Add the cornstarch and water mix. This will help the patties "bind" and stay together when you put them in the pan.
• The mixture should be dry enough to allow you to form patties. It should not be too watery or dry. If they are too watery, add a little more corn flour. If they are too dry, add a little more water.
• Heat a non-stick pan on low heat.
• With your hands, make a patty, about ½ inch thick , about the size of your palm and carefully put it in the pan. Repeat until you make all the patties your pan can fit!!
• Let the patties cook for a few minutes and then turn them over with a spatula.
• Turn the patties as many times as you desire until they are toasted enough on both sides and then serve.

LENTIL POTATO PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, lentils, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, parsley, and salt and pepper in a blender/food processor and pulse till well incorporated.
• Gather up the mixture, roll into balls and gently shape them into patties.
• Now, you can grill these bad boys - grilling times may vary according to your grill. Or, you can use a grill pan, greased with olive oil or coconut oil and cook 'em up for 4-5 minutes on each side - like I did.
• Serve on a bed of greens, with a small salted cucumber salad on the side and some avocado cream sauce and/or Sambal Oelek!

LENTIL CAKES (PATTIES)

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.
