Salad w/ Lentil Patties and Lime-Yogurt Dressing



Salad with Spicy Lentil Patties and Lime-Yogurt Dressing


1 jalapeno, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup black lentils
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
cumin to taste

juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup yogur

lettuce
really awesome tomatoes, diced
onions, sliced thin (optional)
handul cilantro, chopped (optional)

Pressure-cook your lentils with an equal amount of water until pretty soft (or follow the directions on the bag). Set aside.

Heat up some oil in a big pan and sauté the jalapeno, garlic, and onion until soft. Add to the lentils and mix in the egg, breadcrumbs, cumin, and salt & pepper to taste.

Reheat the oil. Drop lumps of the dough into it, then use a spatula to press them into discs. Cook on medium-high until each side is brown and crispy.

Whisk together the yogurt and lime juice. Fill a bowl with lettuce & tomatos & onions, put the warm patties on top, and top with lime dressing & cilantro. Enjoy!
