Ingredients

1 Cup
Lentils (Fresh)
0.5 Cup
Greek Yoghurt (Low fat)
0.25 tsp
Lemon Zest
2 Clove
Garlic (Grated)
1 Dash
Sea Salt
2 Cup
Mushroom (Finely Chopped)
2 tbsp
Miso
0.25 tsp
Paprika
4 tbsp
Olive Oil (Divided)
4 tbsp
Almond Flour
8
Iceberg Lettuces (Leaf, large)

Method

  1. Pour water into a large saucepan to cover lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and
    simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes from the time
    the water reaches a boil. Drain very well in a fine-mesh sieve, then let cool at least 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and half of the garlic in a small bowl. Season
    with salt; set aside.
  3. Finely chop mushrooms and transfer to a medium bowl. Add miso, paprika, half of the oil, and
    remaining garlic clove. Add lentils and stir and mash them with the back of a spoon or a potato
    masher until lentils are partly mashed but with lots of whole lentils still remaining. Vigorously stir in
    flour until mixture holds together when squeezed; if it doesn’t, continue to mash until it does and add
    1–2 Tbsp. flour if needed. Form into 6 patties about 3⁄4" thick.
  4. Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties until deeply browned
    and very crisp on the bottom side, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on the second side,
    adding more oil as needed to maintain a light coating around patties in skillet.
  5. Spread reserved yogurt mixture on one lettuce wrap and cover it with another lettuce wrap.
