INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked green lentils (150g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1 egg
2 tbsp almond flour (28g)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (40g)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (80g)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, cooked quinoa, and red onion. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash the mixture, leaving some texture.
Add the egg, almond flour, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Form the mixture into small, evenly sized cakes, about the size of your palm.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with a small amount of oil over medium heat. Once hot, cook the cakes for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
While the cakes are cooking, prepare the fresh herb sauce. In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Once the cakes are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove from the skillet and plate them.
Drizzle or serve the herb sauce on the side, and enjoy your nutritious and flavorful meal.
