Time 30m

Yield Makes 8 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup red lentils
3 scallions, pale-green and white parts chopped; greens thinly sliced on bias
1 tablespoon harissa
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt
1 large egg plus 1 large egg white
2 1/2 ounces goat's-milk or sheep's-milk feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon finely grated garlic (from 1 small clove)
1/2 English cucumber, cut into half-moons (1 cup)
1/2 ounce upland cress or watercress (1 cup)
1/4 ounce fresh mint leaves (1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons safflower oil

Steps:

  • Cover lentils with 2 inches cold water. Soak 4 hours at room temperature or up to 1 day in refrigerator. Drain well. Pulse pale-green and white parts of scallions in a food processor until minced. Add harissa, turmeric, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and egg and egg white; pulse to combine. Add lentils; puree until almost smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl, and stir in a little more than half the feta.
  • Whisk remaining feta, the yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Combine cucumber, cress, and mint in another bowl.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a scant tablespoon of scallion greens in pan, and spoon about an eighth of the batter on top, spreading to make a 3-inch cake. Repeat, making 4 cakes at a time. Cook until golden brown, flipping once, about 6 minutes. Add remaining teaspoon oil, and repeat.
  • Divide sauce among 4 plates; top with salad. Place cakes next to greens, and serve.

  • Place the lentils in a small pot with the 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the lentils with the lid of your pot on but slightly ajar (to allow steam to escape) for 20 minutes, or until they're turning into a thick, mushy mixture. Once all of the water has been absorbed, remove the lentils from heat and set them aside to cool somewhat.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet or cast iron frying pan. Add the onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are clear and soft. Add a few tablespoons of water as you go along to prevent sticking. When the onions are soft, add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not burning. Stir in the cumin, paprika, oregano, harissa, salt, and lemon juice, along with the lentils. Mix everything around gently in the skillet or pan to incorporate the seasonings. Allow the mixture to cool for a few moments.
  • Transfer the skillet mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the quinoa and chickpea flour, and use your hands to incorporate everything. The mixture should be easy to shape into cakes but not too mushy, either (if it is super mushy, add another tablespoon of chickpea flour). Shape the mixture into 8 cakes and place them on the oiled baking sheet.
