Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, finely diced red onion, minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika.
~2 min - 2
Pulse until the mixture is mostly combined but still has some texture.
~1 min - 3
Add the egg and flour to the food processor and pulse again until just incorporated. The mixture should be firm enough to form patties.
~1 min - 4
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1 inch thick.
~3 min - 5
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
~2 min - 6
Carefully place the patties in the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
~10 min - 7
Serve immediately.
Tips
- If the mixture feels too wet to form patties, add an extra tablespoon of flour. If it feels too dry, add a splash of water.
- These patties are delicious served with a side of yogurt and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
