Miniature Carrot: A little sweetness and more nutrition may be added by grating a carrot.
Add a splash of color and a burst of freshness to the patties with fifteen grams (about one quarter cup) of chopped fresh parsley.
Add a richer, more intense flavor with 1 tablespoon of tomato puree.
The tastes are completed with the essential ingredients of salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
The patties will be cooked to perfection using olive oil, resulting in a gorgeous golden exterior.
How to Make Mouth-Watering Patties
Get Your Lentils Ready: After a good rinsing, boil the red lentils until they are soft. Remove any surplus of water and allow it sit for a short while to cool.
Chop the shallot and garlic finely and sauté them with the aromatics. Toss them in a little olive oil and sauté until they’re tender and aromatic. After the mixture has sautéed, add the tomato puree and grated carrot and chopped parsley.
Step 2: Combine the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables, and spices in a big bowl. Be careful not to over-mash the mixture; you want some texture, after all. Gently form into patties.
To Get the Perfect Cooking Started, Place a Pan Over Medium Heat and Add Olive Oil. The patties should be cooked until they turn brown and crisp.
