Green lentils patties.. Simple ingredients and so

Green lentils patties.. Simple ingredients and so delicious 🤤

2 cups green lentils (soaked overnight)
1.5 cup cooked white rice
1 (0.5cup) medium onion
1/4 cup fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or cilantro)
1 pinch nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for cooking

In a food processor, blend the soaked lentils and onion until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the cooked rice, chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly using your hands.
Form the mixture into round patties, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan and fry covered for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Tip: Avoid high heat, as the patties may cook too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.
Transfer to a plate and enjoy immediately! These are best served hot.
