1. 1

   In a large bowl, mash the cooked brown lentils with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still retaining some texture.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not over-mash; a few whole lentils add to the texture.

   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.

   Ongeveer 2 min

3. 3

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the mixture can hold its shape.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more oat flour, one tablespoon at a time.

4. 4

   Divide the lentil mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1-inch thick.

   Ongeveer 3 min
