Instructions
Lentils
- Using a pressure cooker is the quickest and easiest way to cook lentils. Put the well rinsed lentils in the pressure cooker and add the water. Make sure you add enough so it will not burn. I cooked the lentils in my pressure cooker for about 30 minutes, but it may take longer or shorter depending on your pressure cooker.If you have a lot of water still in the pot, you can rinse the lentils. Place them in a bowl along with all the other ingredients. Mix with wooden spoon. Using a hand blender, pulse a few times. You want it to still have some chunks. If you prefer a dryer patty, add some more oat flour, or just 1 cup of whole oats. These ones are pretty moist and chewy. You can also pop them in the oven after cooking to dry them out as well.Grease your hands with some olive oil, take about 2 tablespoons of the lentils and pat them into circles. Heat a cast iron pan and grease with coconut oil/avocado oil. Cook the patties until browned on both sides.
