Red Lentil Patties

Ingredients

• 300 g Red lentils
• 1 pcs Bay leaf
• 1 pcs Onion
• 2 pcs Egg
• 2 tbsp Oat flakes
• 2 tsp Thyme, dried
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 pcs Carrot
• 2 clove Garlic
• 3 tbsp Oat flour
• 1 bunch Parsley, fresh
• 4 tbsp Sunflower seeds, roasted without salt

Method

1. Rinse the lentils, then place them in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt and a bay leaf, then cook for about 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Peel and chop the carrots, then steam until tender. Allow the lentils and carrots to cool slightly, then transfer them to a food processor. Add the peeled and chopped onion and garlic, and blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the egg, oat flour, oats, sunflower seeds, thyme, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the mixture, and stir well. Taste and adjust the seasoning or texture if necessary.
4. Form the mixture into small patties and flatten each one slightly. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes until golden.
