Ingredients

Servings:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 small onion chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 carrot peeled and cut into a small dice
1 cup lentils cooked
1 egg beaten
2 tbsp cilantro chopped
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp cumin plus 1 tsp, divided
2 lime juiced
4 tbsp sour cream reduced fat
salt

Instructions

Patties

Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Sauté the jalapeno, garlic, onion, and carrot until they are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to a large bowl and mix in the lentils, egg, cilantro, breadcrumbs, and 1 tablespoon cumin. The mixture should be pretty wet and a little sticky.
From tablespoon sized portions of the lentil mixture into rounds, then use your hand to press them into a patty shape that’s about the size of a half-dollar coin around and a half inch high (you should get about 9 patties). Place your frying pan back over medium-high heat and add the patties. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom has browned and formed a thin crust. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

Dressing

Whisk together the lime juice, sour cream, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste.
