Vegan lentil patties

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 250 g lentils, red
• 2 tsp vegetable stock powder
• ½ onion(s), red
• 1 garlic clove(s)
• 1 tsp sweet paprika powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 30 g oat flakes, fine
• 40 g wholemeal spelt flour or wholemeal wheat flour
• some pepper
• Oil, neutral for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Wash the lentils with warm water. Mix 500 ml of water with vegetable stock powder and cook the lentils for about 8 minutes, adding a little more water if the lentils swell too much. The lentils should still be firm to the bite. Reserve any excess stock in the pot. Roughly puree some of the lentils with a hand blender. Peel the onion and garlic, finely chop them, and mix them with the lentils and all other ingredients, then knead everything into a dough. Form the mixture into small patties, preferably with wet hands. Fry the patties in a little oil in a large pan until crispy. The patties taste best with a delicious vegan dip, such as vegan chimichurri mayonnaise or vegan curry sauce (also featured in my recipes).
