Lentil Patties
« on: April 15, 2012, 02:28:52 am »
Lentil Patties
Vegetarian
Makes approx 12

1 carrot (large) roughly chopped in TM, 4 seconds on speed 6, set aside

2 stalks of celery roughly chopped in TM, 4 seconds on speed 4, set aside

1 onion quartered then chopped in TM, 5 seconds on speed 6

Add carrot and celery to onion in jug then add 180 grams of red lentils,
1 tablespoon of vegetable stock,
1 teaspoon dried oregano,
½ teaspoon dried thyme and 260 grams of water.
Cook on 100 reverse speed 2-3  for 15-18 minutes or until lentils are cooked.
To this mixture add 75 grams of dried breadcrumbs and mix on speed 3 reverse until well-combined approx 20 seconds.
Shape mix into 12 balls then roll them in 60 grams of breadcrumbs to coat.
Slightly flatten each ball into a pattie. Separate the patties with freezer paper or baking paper and freeze until required.
To cook thaw first then heat 3 teaspoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan, add patties and cook until browned on both sides.
I have been making these for a long time and my vegetarian sister has them on a bread roll with salad, much like a hamburger. I defrost them in the Varoma while cooking  potatoes or rice in the jug.
They only take about 5 minutes placed on a piece of baking paper.
Of course you can just take them out of the freezer an hour or two before you need them, but I usually don't think about it till the last minute or so.

This is an adaption of a WeightWatchers recipe from the Make it Easy cook book


DM: Just made this, -I cut carrot, celery and onion all together in the bowl.  Will be handy for lunchbox.  Thanks for sharing, Lucyluu.

Tam:I've omitted the herbs and used some of Tenina's garlic paste instead.  I've also used oat flour instead of bread crumbs and a handful of parmesan cheese.  Smelling yum!!!

Lucyluu: Made another batch for the barbeque yesterday and some to freeze.

Realization: My 14 year old son has decided that he's going to be vegetarian, for at least a while, and everyone in the family loves these.  I also add cumin and a little chilli, and we've enjoyed these cooked on the BBQ with halloumi and onions, and then tomato, lettuce and some tzatziki or mayo.  The first time I cooked these I used flour to thicken it as I didn't have any bread crumbs.  It worked fine.  The breadcrumbs make the texture a little less gluggy though.

I used to make something like this years ago, but lost the recipe, so thanks very much.  My then toddler daughter used to love them as finger food, chopped up after cooking.

She's 20 this summer!

Anne that just made me feel a little emotional! My little girl is almost 2, I plan to make these for her. I cannot imagine her turning 20!

These are great!

My 14 year old son has decided that he's going to be vegetarian, for at least a while, and everyone in the family loves these.  I also add cumin and a little chilli, and we've enjoyed these cooked on the BBQ with halloumi and onions, and then tomato, lettuce and some tzatziki or mayo.  The first time I cooked these I used flour to thicken it as I didn't have any bread crumbs.  It worked fine.  The breadcrumbs make the texture a little less gluggy though.

Will take pics at some stage as I feel this may be a regular-ish meal. :)

It's great when the entire family enjoy a meal like this. I'll look forward to the photos.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
