It’s no secret I have a special place in my heart for lentils\u2026 and can you blame me? This delicious legume is full of protein and easy to digest. Also, you can find lentils everywhere, it’s cheap, and comes in a variety of colors. Gotta love it. Lentil patties are also a great thing. Easy to make, can be freezed without a problem, and so many flavor options. This recipe is for vegan black lentil patties. Aside of the lentils, the patties have in it mushrooms, saut\u00e9ed with onions, walnuts and other good things. No eggs needed, no breadcrumbs needed, a great recipe for any day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n

The first step is soaking the black lentils. Soaking lentils (or lengumes in general) help digesting it and promots the secretion of good enzymes. The soaking in this recipe should be long, at least 8 hours and possibly more. Soak the lentils in plenty of fresh water, preferably changing the water at least once during this time. Notice that although I definitely recommend soaking the lentils that long, there is a shortcut. You can soak the lentils for half an hour in boiling water. But – the texture of the patties will be a bit softer. At the end of the soaking time, wash the lentils well and drain excess water.<\/p>\n\n\n

The black lentil patties has in it also mushrooms, that are saut\u00e9ed toghether with onions. Finely mince the mushrooms and an onion. The small size will help to keep the patties stable. Saut\u00e9e the onions on a pan with some olive oil for about 5 minutes. When the onions soften and become a bit transparent, add the chopped mushrooms. Season with thyme leaves, crushed garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue sauteing for another 10 minutes on a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Ath the end, the mushrooms and onions will be soft and golden. keep aside.<\/p>\n\n\n

In a food processor palce the black lentis (after soaking). Add walnuts, parsley, date syrup (silan)and season with salt and black pepper. Don’t add the mushroom mixture to the food processor, unless you want a very smooth texture (for exapmle if you intend to serve it to kids). Grind all the ingredients well until you get a sticky paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the saut\u00e9ed mushrooms and onions and mix well. Of course, if you added the mushroom to the food processor you can skip that part.<\/p>\n\n\n

Form out of the mixture flattened patties, about 5 cm\/2-inch diameter. I prefer baking the vegan black lentil and mushroom patties, but you can also fry it. If baking- place it on a pan, lined with baking paper or a silicone mat and greased with a bit of olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. If youchoose to fry the patties – prefer to do it in olive oil (yes!), on a medium heat until golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve with tahini or any other dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
