Lentil and Rice Patties
Lentil patties are a great idea for lunch or dinner! Lentils are a really filling, protein-rich food that can stand in for meat in your diet without any downside.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather your ingredients. Rinse the lentils well, cover them with cold water, and soak for 2–3 hours (overnight is even better). Cook the rice.
-
Step 2:
Transfer the lentils to a food processor and grind them to a smooth, lump-free paste, scraping down and stirring a few times along the way.
-
Step 3:
Once the paste is the right consistency, add the onion and garlic in large pieces and grind everything together again.
-
Step 4:
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the cooked rice and finely chopped herbs, season with the spices, and mix everything well.
-
Step 5:
Shape the mixture into patties and coat them in cornmeal.
-
Step 6:
Pour vegetable oil into a skillet, heat it, and carefully lay the patties into the hot oil. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
-
Step 7:
Set the finished patties on a paper-towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
-
Step 8:
Move the patties to a plate, serve with gravy, sauce, or sour cream, and bring them to the table.
- It makes for a really tasty, filling dish.
