recipe: Spicy Lentil Patties with Rosemary potatoes

We had people over for this recipe and it got a lot of complements! I loved the fact that I didn't have to get my hands 'dirty' and do a lot of cooking preparation, you just have to mix stuff together...

Serves 4:

1 red chili chopped, 6 green onions chopped, 2 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp chopped garlic, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed, 1 can lentils drained & rinsed, 2 tbsp chopped coriander, salt & pepper, 8 baby potatoes, chopped rosemary and 1 tsp olive oil


1. In a fry pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil, add chili, onions, ginger and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. r
emove from heat, add coriander and place in a food processor to form a paste. Add to a large bowl and reserve;
2. In the same food processor, whiz lentils and chickpeas in portions and add to the chili mixture. Mix everything together well, season with salt and pepper and form 4 patties with your hands. Reserve.
3. Pre-heat the oven to 190C. Heat water in a sauce pan and boil potatoes for about 10-15 minutes;
4. Drain potatoes and let cool for a bit. Place them in a baking dish, brush with some olive oil, season well with salt, rosemary and pepper and bake until golden. (abut 20-25 minutes). Place the patties in a line baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes.
5. Place 2 potatoes in each dish, crush slightly with a potato masher, top
with one patty and serve with some tomato salsa and greek yoghurt.
Perfect!
