Lentil and Walnut Protein Patties with Steamed Green Beans
Pan-seared lentil and walnut patties seasoned with savory nutritional yeast, served alongside crisp-tender steamed green beans with a hint of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
3 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
7 grams Walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon Flaxseed Meal
1.25 cups Green Beans
0.5 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Stir the flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water in a small bowl and let it sit for five minutes until it forms a thick gel.
Place the cooked lentils and chopped walnuts into a food processor and pulse several times until the mixture is broken down but still has some visible texture.
Transfer the lentil mixture to a bowl and fold in the nutritional yeast, flax gel, and a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder if desired.
Form the mixture into two or three firm patties using your hands.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and hold their shape.
While the patties are searing, place the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Plate the patties alongside the steamed green beans and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon for brightness.
