Indian-Spiced Lentil Hemp Patties
Nutrition-packed and with a unique flavour, these burgers will satisfy a large appetite
Time: 30 minutes prep • Makes 4–6 patties
You will need:
2–3 tbsp coconut oil, for frying
1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1 medium)
1 stalk celery, minced
1 cup diced red pepper
6 medium cloves garlic, minced
¼ tsp ginger powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp turmeric
½ cup hemp seeds
3 tbsp sprouted flax powder (or finely ground flaxseeds)
1 cups cooked red lentils
½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium frying pan, heat 1 tbsp coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, celery, and red pepper, and saute until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are soft.
- Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
- To the vegetable mixture, add the remaining ingredients and mix well, mashing the lentils with a fork. Adjust salt as needed.
- Hand-shape into 4–6 patties.
- • Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a large frying pan over low heat. The lower the heat the better, as it will allow the patties to cook longer and get a better crust. Place the patties on the pan carefully, and cook until brown underneath, about 10 minutes. Flip the patties over and repeat on the other side. Serve warm.
