Crispy Lentil Patties
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked lentils
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/8 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil-packed minced garlic
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1
Process lentils in a food processor until they reach a coarse texture; transfer them to a large mixing container.
2
Combine the ground lentils with finely chopped onion, beaten egg, diced bell pepper, and bread crumbs; add shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mixture and blend well.
3
Divide the lentil mixture into four identical portions, shape each portion into a ball, and then flatten it slightly to form a patty.
4
Cover the bottom of a shallow bowl with cornmeal; coat each patty evenly in the cornmeal.
5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the patties in the skillet until they are nicely browned, taking about 5 minutes per side.
