Lentil Crunchies
Posted by Lincoln on Apr 13th, 2008
1 14oz can lentils
Cooking spray of your choice (I used olive oil)
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
Drain lentils. Spray a cookie sheet well with cooking spray. Spread out lentils on sheet and give them a light coating of cooking spray. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until crisp, stirring often. Combine seasonings and toss with hot lentils. Cool and store in a airtight container.
These *just* came out of the oven, and damn, are they tasty. And really good for you too. I’m going to make up another batch and take them to work to keep in my desk for a healthy snack.
Chipotle Black bean cakes
Posted by Lincoln on Apr 13th, 2008
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 c minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 c breadcrumbs
2 canned chipolte chilies, plus 2 tbsp adobo sauce
1 egg, beaten
In small skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion, saute for 2 minutes. Add garlic, saute for 2 minutes, until both are tender. Cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mash beans lightly with potato masher or fork. In food processor, blend chilies and adobo sauce well, and add to beans. Add onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg white. Stir well. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Shape mixture into 4 patties, and place on waxed paper. Refrigerate patties for a few hours to give flavors a chance to meet.
These patties can be grilled or pan fried. If grilling, spray rack with oil. If pan frying, heat a small amount of oil in skillet. Cook 3 minutes each side, until crispy and browned.
Excellent for breakfast, as a snack, or with dinner.
