Health Highlights

Ingredients


1 cup Red lentils, raw
1/2 cup Amaranth, raw
1/2 cup Parsley, fresh (chopped)
1 onion(s) Sweet onion (diced)
2 tbsp (level) Psyllium seed husk
4 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1/2 cup Bread crumbs, plain, gluten free
1/4 cup Black olives (optional)
1/4 tsp Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp Grape seed oil (for frying)

Instructions


  1. Add red lentils and amaranth in a pot. Cover with water and boil for 15 minutes. Strain them.
  2. Put them in a large bowl and blend in all the other ingredients, except oil. If the composition is too moist, add more breadcrumbs. The patties should be easy to form.
  3. Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan.
  4. Make the patties – 1 Tbsps per patty.
  5. Fry them 2 minutes on each side.
  6. Put the amaranth patties on a plate covered with a paper towel, in order to absorb all excess oil.

Notes:

Lentils

are an important source of protein for vegetarians and vegans.
