Basic Lentil Patties - Create your own flavour!!!

I love love love having bean patties. Any kind, any flavour. I just love them.
My husband on the other hand is not a fan at all.
These ones however, he tolerates!

You'll need:
2 tins lentils
1/4 cup besan flour  (chickpea flour)
1 teaspoon mixed italian herbs
2 Tablespoons tomato paste

Drain the lentils and mash them well.
Stir in the other ingredients.
Shape into patties and bake at 200C for 20-25minutes until browned, turning half way through cooking.

These patties are really versatile. Not only are they really quick & easy to make but you can use this mixture as a base and add other veggies or spices as you desire.

Optional extras (pending husbands approval):

Chopped mushrooms, spinach pieces, onion, garlic, capsicum.
Using BBQ sauce or curry paste in place of the tomato works really well too & creates a slightly different flavour for these patties.

Great on burgers, added to salads or by themselves.

  2. My family are huge fans of bean burgers, but I've yet to try them with lentil patties. They sound so easy and simple to make. I love how they turn out too. They look really firm and not crumbly at all. They're definitely going on my 'to try' list! Thank you! xx
