Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)
• 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1 cup dry brown lentils
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 2.5 cups water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place water and lentils in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Combine cooked lentils, nutlike cereal nuggets, walnuts, eggs, milk, onion soup mix, and poultry seasoning in a large bowl; mix well using your hands. The mixture will be very thick. Set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

Step 3

Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form lentil mixture into balls using an ice cream scoop; drop into bread crumbs and coat while flattening into patties. Add patties to the skillet; cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness of the patties.
