Ingredients

    4 cups (1 L) whole red lentils, cooked

    ½ cup (125 mL) cubed, dry roasted sweet potato, pureed

    ½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour

    1 lb (500 g) brown button mushrooms, roasted and chopped

    ¼ cup (60 mL) miso paste

    1 tsp (5 mL) smoked paprika

    1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano

    1 tsp (5 mL) black pepper, fine ground

    ¼ cup (60 mL) garlic paste

    2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice


Directions

  1. In a food processor, add lentils, sweet potato, and flour. Pulse on and off 10-15 times to break up the lentils and mix the flour through.
  2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add mushrooms, miso, paprika, oregano, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice. Working with your hands, create a paste which evenly incorporates all the ingredients. Be sure to not destroy all of the lentil structure. If the mix is still a little wet, add more flour as needed. Allow mixture to rest for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Roll mixture into balls and form patties.
  4. In a large non-stick pan, over medium heat, cook patties in a small amount of the oil of your choice.
  5. Cook for 3-5 minutes on the first side, until nicely browned and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Be sure to keep the fat in the pan light but still present.
