This delicious legume is full of protein and easy to digest. You can also find lentils everywhere, they&#8217;re cheap, and they come in a variety of colors. Gotta love it. Lentil patties are also a great thing: easy to make, freeze well, and come with so many flavor options. This recipe is for vegan black lentil patties. Aside from the lentils, the patties also have mushrooms, saut\u00e9ed with onions, walnuts, and a few other good things. No eggs needed, no breadcrumbs needed, a great recipe for any day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4106.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan Black Lentil Patties with Mushrooms\" class=\"wp-image-7675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4106.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4106-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You&#8217;ll Love This Recipe:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hearty, protein-packed patties made with black lentils and mushrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No eggs or breadcrumbs needed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naturally vegan and gluten-free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freezer-friendly, great for meal prep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Ingredients &amp; Substitutions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Black lentils<\/strong> \u2013 unlike most lentil recipes, these are never boiled. Soaking is the only step that softens them before baking, so a long soak (at least 8 hours) is what gives the patties their texture, not just a health bonus. In a rush? You can soak them in boiling water for just 30 minutes instead, but keep in mind the patties will come out with a softer texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Date syrup (silan)<\/strong> \u2013 adds a subtle sweetness. Swap in maple syrup or agave if you don&#8217;t have it, or leave it out entirely for a less sweet patty (see FAQ). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mushrooms<\/strong> \u2013 finely mince them along with the onion, this helps the patties hold together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4111.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan Black Lentil Patties with Mushrooms\" class=\"wp-image-7677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4111.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_4111-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mince the onion and mushrooms very finely, it&#8217;s key for keeping the patties from falling apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a smoother, kid-friendly texture, add the saut\u00e9ed mushroom mixture to the food processor along with everything else instead of mixing it in by hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prefer a crispier patty?
