These patties really tasted great on a chilly, wet evening. We look forward to enjoying them more often, and no matter what the weather.

Yield: 10-12

Ingredients:

• 10 ounces spinach, sauteed
• 1 cup Puy lentils, cooked
• 3 teaspoons curry powder
• 3 Tbs.gram flour (or wheat)
• 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
• salt and pepper to taste
• pinch chili flakes
• 1 cup Penko bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs to make a crust
• 2 tablespoons oil

for the soy yogurt sauce:

• soy yoghurt
• chives pinch salt splash lemon juice

Directions:

1. Mix the spinach, lentils, curry powder, 3 Tbs. bread crumbs, gram flour and chilli flakes together in a bowl.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Form the mixture into patties.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan.
5. Quickly lay each side of each patty in bread crumbs to form a crust on the outside of the patties and place the patties in the frying pan.
6. Brown on each side.
7. Remove and place on a paper town to remove excess oil.
8. Make the soy yogurt sauce using a bit of salt, some chopped chives and a splash of lemon juice.
9. The patties are served with a dollop of soy yogurt.

Notes:

The La Puy lentils are some of the finest one can enjoy. We do suggest you try to get them as they make this recipe very nice.
