Vegan Meat Substitute: Protein-Rich Lentil Patties

With the tomato puree, season with salt, and add black pepper.

In a blender, add all the ingredients and process until smooth.

Step 2: Form and Cook the Patties

Olive oil should be heated in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Form a patty with your hands by scooping out a little amount of the lentil mixture.

Put the patty into the heated oil gently.

Proceed with caution so as not to overcrowd the baking dish.

Brown, crisp, and fry the patties on all sides in a skillet over medium heat.

Thirdly, serve and savor!

After the lentil patties are cooked, place them on a paper towel or parchment paper-lined baking sheet to soak up any extra grease.

Arrange the patties on a platter and offer them with a dipping sauce of your choice.

You may eat these tasty lentil patties as an appetizer, snack, or main course since they are packed with protein.
