The method

Step by step

1
In a large bowl, mash the cooked brown lentils with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still retaining some texture.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Do not over-mash; a few whole lentils add to the texture.
2
Add the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, oat flour, chopped fresh parsley, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed lentils.
About 2 min
3
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the mixture can hold its shape.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more oat flour, one tablespoon at a time.
4
Divide the lentil mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1-inch thick.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking while shaping the patties.
5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
About 1 min
6
Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
About 1 min
7
Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
About 14 min
Cook’s note: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
8
Serve the lentil patties warm.
