Ingredients
1 C. Lentils (raw)1/4 C. Red bell pepper1/4 C. Chopped onion1 Garlic Clove1 chile1tsp. Cumin1tbsp. Canola oil /corn oil1/3 C Water Cooking spraySalt and pepper to tasteAnd if you see the lentils "dough" need something stick together you could add 1 tsp. of flour. I use Chickpea flour (Ground Garbanzo beans). Wich should be a low carb flour.
Directions
Serving Size: 6 flat patties / 4 thick patties

1) Soak lentils overnight.
2)Put everything in a food processor, make a few pulses until lentils become ground but not completely to keep some of its texture.
3) in a pre-heated (medium) non stick skillet oil it with the cooking spray,put 2 tbsp, of the dough and flatten with the back of a spoon.
3) cook until borders brown then turn it and cook for a few minutes.

Try them more thick as a burger, or flat for a more crunchy version. I usually have this with leafy salad, sometimes I eat them with a drop yellow mustard on them.
You can avoid the canola oil in this for a low fat version.
