Beans!

One of the easiest lentil recipes I've done... are lentil patties

1 can of lentils, drained and rinsed (eliminates some sodium)
2 cups mashed potatoes (the instant variety are fine - garlic mashed potatoes are even better - mashed sweet potatoes are quite good in this too)
1 small onion, minced (or 2 shallots)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 green/orange/red/yellow bell pepper (your choice) diced

Mix all ingredients together...

Form mixture into patties...

(Dust with flour or breadcrumbs - or not)

Cook in lightly oiled skillet til browned...


well that seems simple enough...thanks
 
you can also throw some additional chopped up veggies in them as well (experimentation tells me that mushrooms don't work because they give off too much moisture) but broccoli chopped up works great...
 
mmm i love vegetarian beans on toast for breakfast!!
it has a nice tomato-flavor.

hummus sounds familiar to the white bean dip mentioned before...

and some roasted veggies like bell pepper and yellow squash(marinated withsalsa and onion powerder and garlic powder) are terrific with just some rinsed pinto beans and salsa!!
if you want to add some fat to it, you can always make some guacamole!!
