Lentil Kofte 02 – Bean Cereals Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Kirmizi Mercimek Koftesi (Red Lentil Burgers)

1 cup red lentils

1 1/2 cups hot water

1 vegetable bouillion cube

1/4 cup fresh, chopped parsley

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 large onion, finely minced

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

corn flour for binding

cooking spray or oil

Boil the lentils with the bouillion and water. When the lentils

are cooked, all the water should be absorbed. If the lentils are

watery, let them sit to absorb the rest of the moisture. When the

lentils are cooked and relatively cooled, add the parsley, garlic,

onion, and spices. If the mixture is watery, add some corn flour

to bind the ingredients.

Shape the lentils into patties and broil in oven or fry in skillet.

Garnish the lentil ‘kofte’ like you would a burger.

Serves: 4
