Lentil Cakes (Patties)
This recipe for lentil cakes (patties) is wonderful. They've undergone several transformations since I first tried them, using different soup mixes for seasoning and adding chopped nuts for texture. Serve them with tomato sauce or bake them in a mushroom sauce for a fancy dinner. My favorite way to enjoy them is on a burger bun or good homemade bread like a hamburger, with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayo, ketchup, and alfalfa sprouts!
