We altered the recipe slightly based on what we had on hand. We used pumpkin seeds (chopped them/ground them in the vitamix), no carrots, no celery, and no parsley/cilantro. We used only a little cornmeal, otherwise there was no breadcrumbs, it was mainly green lentils. We added a touch of Bragg’s soy sauce, paprika, sage, celery seed, and diced green bell pepper.

It almost didn’t hold together with all of the onion and peas. But we did bake them instead of frying them on the stove-top, so maybe that affected the cohesion and texture? These were slightly thicker than our usual veggie burgers, so they stayed slightly soft in the center and crisped a little on the surface.

Very tasty patties. Thank you for this recipe! My only question was how the texture and binding was for you…
