INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked red lentils (150g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
100g extra-firm tofu
14g vital wheat gluten (approx. 1/8 cup)
0.5 scoop pea protein powder
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 cup chopped kale (33g)
1/2 cup grape tomatoes (75g)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, combine the cooked red lentils, cooked quinoa, crumbled extra-firm tofu, vital wheat gluten, pea protein powder, and nutritional yeast.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 3-4 patties, ensuring they hold together.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Place the patties on the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a firm, golden crust.
While the patties are grilling, prepare the salad by combining the chopped kale and grape tomatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with a little salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
Plate the warm patties alongside the crunchy kale salad. Serve immediately and enjoy a protein-packed, flavorful lunch.
