Calories 93kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup lentils soaked from dry
- 1 cup rice cooked from dry
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg ground
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Take pre-soaked overnight (or at least for a couple of hours) lentils, drain the water and rinse. Blend slightly in a blender or food processor.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic, add to blended lentils and blend once again.
- Place lentil mix into a large bowl and add rice (general rule here is to have 3/4 portions of rice to 1 portion of lentils). Combine with spices and mix well. Add a bit more rice if the mix is too moist and doesn't form patties.
- Once desired consistency reached, form patties and fry in a pan (will take approx 5 mins on each side) or bake in the oven for oil-free option (around 15 mins on each side) until crunchy.
- If you happen to have residual uncooked patties (and this recipe accounts for that), freeze them placing patties on a board or a plate covering with a bag/kitchen cloth into a freezer. To prepare from frozen, preliminary defrost in a microwave and then cook as described above.
