Vegeterian Tips: Water water water! It s been said over and over again for a reason because its true! Most people don t drink nearly enough. Bring a water bottle with you wherever you go and invest in a simple filter for your home. Water is especially important when adjusting to a new way of eating, as it will help curb any cravings you may experience.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 cups brown lentils
- 2/3 cup roughly chopped peanuts
- 80g of almond meal
- 1 teaspoon “no egg” mixed with two tablespoon water (the equivalent of one egg)
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1/2 regular red/Spanish onion, chopped finely
- 2 cups of brown lentils
- 1/2 cup of rice (cooked)
- 1/2 cup of chopped coriander stalks and leaves
- plain flour (to coat the patties)
- olive or vegetable oil
Directions:
Cook the lentils in lots of boiling
salted water for about 30-40 minutes,
or until they are tender. Drain and
crush lightly with a fork.
Put in a large bowl. Add peanuts,
almond meal, “no egg”, garlic, onion,
rice and coriander. Add some salt and
pepper then shape into 6 or more large
patties. Wet your hands a little so
they don”t stick, and make sure the
patties aren”t to thin or they will
fall apart when you cook them. Coat
them lightly with the flour. Heat the
oil in a frying pan and cook the
patties on a low heat for 5-8 minutes.
just keep checking them.
Serve on a burger bun with sweet
chilli sauce and salad. Yum!
They also freeze well for a up to a few weeks.
For variation, you can swap the peanuts
and coriander for other herbs and
nuts. Enjoy!
Serves: 6-8
