How to Make Lentil Patties With Green Sauce

  1. For the lentils:

    Cook the lentils in salted water. Set aside.

  2. For the spicy egg mixture:

    Add the garlic and some salt to a smaller bowl and mix them using a teaspoon. Add the olive oil and mix more until even.

  3. Add the egg, dill, cinnamon, and five-spice powder. Mix until even. Set aside.
  4. For the lentil mixture:

    Strain the lentils and transfer them to a mixer bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix until smooth.

  5. Add the crumbled cheese, spicy egg mixture, and breadcrumbs. Mix more until even. Set aside.
  6. For the sauce:

    Add the ingredients for the sauce to a tall mixing glass. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer.

  7. Assembling the patties:

    Coat your hands with some oil to prevent sticking and start forming patties from the lentil mixture. We’ve got 12 of them.

  8. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, coat the patties with breadcrumbs, and place them on the tray.
  9. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 25 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C.
  10. Serve the patties together with the green sauce. Optionally, garnish with roasted pine nuts.
