I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lentil patties turned out really dry. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some vegetable broth or tomato sauce.

These lentil patties were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a gluten-free breadcrumb mixture and they were still delicious.

I made these lentil patties for dinner last night and they were a hit! My kids loved them, and even my husband, who is a meat-eater, enjoyed them.

These lentil patties were a bit too mushy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking the lentils for a little less time next time.

These lentil patties were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

These lentil patties were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the lentils and it made the process even faster. I also added a bit of chili powder for a little extra spice.

These lentil patties were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or chopped spinach.

These lentil patties were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and packed with flavor. The mozzarella cheese added a gooey, melted center that was irresistible. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
