Italian Vegetarian Patties image

This is my original recipe. My teenage vegetarian daughter devours these patties as snacks or when made into a sandwich topped with sauce and provolone cheese. We also use them for chicken Parmesana, or form them into meatballs. They freeze well, too.

Time 40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ cup uncooked brown rice
1 ½ cups red lentils
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 ½ cups dry bread crumbs
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the brown rice, and cook until golden brown. Add the lentils, water, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Add additional water if needed; mixture should be very thick. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Place the cooked rice mixture in a food processor along with the eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic powder. Process until well combined, and the texture of ground meat. Form into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties, using about 3 tablespoons mixture for each.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. In batches, fry patties until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; cool. Fry remaining patties in the same manner. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer.

I love the idea of these patties, but I found them to be a little dry. I think I will add some more vegetables next time.

These patties were delicious, but they were a little too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my patties fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These patties were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

These patties were a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini, carrots, and potatoes that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in these patties and they turned out great.

I made these patties for my family and they loved them. Even my picky kids ate them up. They are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
