Step-by-Step Instructions:
First things first, let’s gather your ingredients. You’ll need:
- 1 cup of cooked lentils (the more colorful, the better!)
- 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts (think tiny nutty ninjas)
- 1 small onion, finely diced (your tear-inducing friend)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced (no vampires allowed!)
- 1 tsp of cumin – the spice of life!
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (to bring it all together)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
With our dream team assembled, it’s showtime! Grab a mixing bowl and combine the lentils, walnuts, onion, and garlic like you’re assembling the Avengers. Next, add the cumin, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper to create a flavor explosion that will make your taste buds dance. Use your hands (yes, the hands that wash well) to mix everything until it’s one big happy family. If it feels too dry, give it a splash of water – not a flood, just a gentle mist!
Now comes the fun part: shaping your patties! Roll approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a round ball, then flatten it slightly, kind of like you’re giving the poor thing a gentle pancake massage. Place your patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and pop them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure they’re evenly toasted and have a delightful golden-brown hue. Hey, if they don’t look like they just got back from a tanning salon, you may need to talk to them about self-care!
Pro-Tips / Chef’s Notes:
Texture Matters: The key to a perfect veggie patty lies in its texture. To avoid mushiness, ensure you properly sauté your vegetables before mixing them in. This step not only enhances their flavors but also helps reduce excess moisture. Remember, nobody wants a patty that falls apart at the first bite-it’s like a comedy show with a bad punchline!
Spice it Up: Don’t shy away from experimenting with spices! Our signature mix is a crowd-pleaser, but feel free to make it your own. Consider adding:
- Cumin: For a warm, nutty flavor.
- Smoked Paprika: A touch of smokiness can elevate the taste.
- Chili Flakes: Add a kick for those with fiery appetites.
Let your inner chef shine; play around and discover what gets your taste buds dancing.

| Storage Method | Shelf Life |
|---|---|
| Refrigerate | 3-5 days |

Just pop them in the fridge or freezer, give them a quick reheat, and voilà-lunch is served! You’ll impress your colleagues while saving time, and who doesn’t want that?
