Lentil & Herb Patties

Protein-packed lentil patties seasoned with cumin, garlic, and fresh herbs. An excellent plant-based iron source for babies. One serving provides significant iron at the age when stores from birth begin to deplete. Allergen-free and vegan-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Lentils
- 0.5 cup Fresh Parsley & Cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Oat Flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- If using dried lentils, cook according to package directions until very soft, then drain well. If using canned, drain and rinse thoroughly.
- Place the cooked lentils, parsley, garlic, cumin, and lemon juice in a food processor.
- Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. The texture should be like a thick paste.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the oats to help bind the mixture.
- Using a tablespoon measure, portion out the mixture. With damp hands, shape into small flat patties.
- To pan-fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- To bake: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly browned.
- Let cool before serving. The flat shape is easy for baby's palmar grasp.
