Recipe: Red Lentil Cakes
Makes: approx 6 patties
Ingredients:
1 cup dried red lentils
3 tbs kibbled onion
3 tbs psyllium husk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 red peppers- finely chopped
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 cup chickpea/gram flour
1/2 tsp salt
Method:
Cook the red lentils and press into a sieve to drain very well*
Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix together well. Allow to sit for a few minutes for the psyllium to work and until the mix holds together firmly. Form patties with your hands and either oven bake on a lined baking sheet at 180ºC for approx 20 minutes (flip after 15 mins) or pan fry for a few minutes on each side until golden.
*I originally used a nut milk bag to get a very well strained result BUT I found I needed to add a splash of water back to the mix, so I don’t think this degree of ‘dryness’ is required.
