🍴 Instructions

1. Prepare the Pea Mash

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 12–15 minutes).
  2. In the last 2 minutes, add the peas to the boiling water to soften.

2. Make the Lentil Patties

  1. In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. In a food processor, pulse lentils, oats, onion, garlic, spices, and flax egg until well combined but still slightly textured.
  3. Form into small patties (about 4).
  4. Heat a skillet with olive oil and pan-fry patties over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

3. Assemble

  1. Spoon a generous portion of green pea mash onto each plate.
  2. Top with lentil patties.
  3. Finish with a vibrant handful of microgreens and a light drizzle of olive oil or tahini.
