Spinach and lentil patties

Method

1. Place lentils, chickpeas and eggs in a food processor and blend until smooth. 
2. Add cumin, garlic, spinach, parsley, cheese and breadcrumbs. Pulse until well mixed. 
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook 2 tbsp-sized patties in batches until both sides are lightly browned and cooked through. 
4. Serve hot with a fresh seasonal salad. 

Tips

Instead of frying these patties, you could bake them at 200°C for approximately 15 minutes. 

Instead of spinach, you could try grated carrot or courgette. 

If you don’t have a food processor, mash the lentils until mostly smooth, then mix through the other ingredients.
