LENTIL PATTIES

Lentil Patties image

An easy, tasty recipe to serve with fresh salad... great for vege burgers too (especially with my Charged-Up Chilli as sauce! :) This is from the Australian Women's Weekly 'Great Vegetarian Food' cookbook. Serves four if made as patties and served with salad or veges; or makes about eight patties for burgers. Great for OAMC... This recipe has many possibilities - I usually add more spices than the recipe calls for; but it depends on your taste!

Be sure to rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead. Just add a little extra salt to the recipe.
Be careful not to overcook the lentils. They should be cooked through, but still hold their shape.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the lentils with a fork or potato masher.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the patties, such as grated vegetables, chopped nuts, or crumbled cheese.
