Makes 8 patties
2 cups cooked lentils
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 large garlic clove - halved
2 chipotles in adobo
2 scallions - white, light green and dark green parts chopped
1 TBS chopped cilantro leaves
A pinch of ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or chopped walnuts
Salt & pepper
Olive oil
OPTIONAL TOPPING:
1 avocado - peeled and cubed
1 tomato - cubed
1/2 TBS of chopped cilantro
Lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Lemon wedges
Place 1 cup of lentils and 1/2 cup of rice in a large bowl.
Place the remaining lentils and rice in a food processor. Add the garlic and chipotles and process into a puree. Add the puree to the bowl with the lentils and rice. Add the scallions, the cilantro, the ground cloves, the ground cumin and the pepitas or walnuts.
Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Form eight patties. If your patties are too wet go ahead and add a little more cooked rice. Place the patties in the fridge for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Prepare your topping while the patties are chilling simply by mixing the avocado, tomato and cilantro in a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and carefully mix.
Heat some olive oil in a pan and start cooking the patties. Brown the bottom and carefully flip. Brown the other side. This should take about three minutes in total. Top with the avocado and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

These vege patties & avocado salad look delicious & healthy Mary ann. I know even hubby wouldn't miss the meat I have tried the saw tooth coriander in Vietnam & you are right. It does taste like regular stuff. Great dish. Thank you.

[@Thefrugalchef]

I am so happy it worked for you! Thanks for making them and for letting me know 😊

[@GoranMak]

Just an FYI - in the Caribbean, they call "Chinese Cilantro" SHADO BENI, or it may also be known as CULANTRO (pron. koo-lan-tro). That's all. LOL Besides, of course your lovely dish! WOW!

[@Thefrugalchef]

GoranMak Thanks Goran! We have culantro in Bolivia as well but I always co for cilantro. I will have to pay more attention. As always, thank you!

[@Nunofyuhbizness]

That's what I thought! It's chadon beni/ bandanya. Happy I can find it outside the West Indies.

[@c_farther5208]

pumpkin seeds? Wow, that sounds great, I mean seriously great.

[@Enedina665]

Those look amazing. I never thought of using brown rice. I made some combining black beans and lentils and they were good. I'm trying your way next time :)

[@Thefrugalchef]

Nadi Da Great Nadi! I never made balck bean and lentil ones. That sounds great! I will give them a try. Thank you!

[@AngelicaHernandezblessed]

[@Thefrugalchef]

Angelica Hernandez Thank you Angelica!

[@shawhit3462]

Yum!

[@Thefrugalchef]

sha whit Thanks Sharon!

[@lilminishlomit]

can I bake these and freeze them. afterwards thaw them in room temperature and eat it after 12 hrs? will it be safe? am thinking of taking this to my 25 hrs flight

[@djlover7994]

Hi do u think if I add some flax seed make them more firm it'll work???

[@Thefrugalchef]

+DJ Lover I think that would be a wonderful addition! Yum! Thanks for watching!

[@djlover7994]

Ok gracias. Keep the good work.

[@omaerin3529]

They look great. I have two questions, I HATE cilantro, could I substitute Italian parsley or just leave it out and how do you cook them from the frozen state. Do you defrost them first or brown before frozen and reheat in oven? Thanks

[@Thefrugalchef]

oma erin Forget the cilantro! No problem. If you want you can add parsley. That will be fine. You need to defrost these before cooking them. It is not necesary to fry them before freezing. Thanks Oma!

[@omaerin3529]

The Frugal Chef thanks for reply.

[@ollerpops]

How many patties does this recipe make? Can't wait to make but need enough for 5 people in family x 2 patties each! Thanks!

[@Thefrugalchef]

ollerpops This one will give you eight small patties. I would make two recipes and just freeze the left over ones. Thanks!

[@christinepeters4771]
