Edited from healthiersteps.com
For The Filling
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 spring onion
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 cup brown lentils
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, spring onion, and garlic and saute stirring constantly until onion is soft. About 3 minutes.
- Add thyme, turmeric, cumin, lentil and stir to coat.
- Add broth and bring to boil. Cover saucepan and reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and lentils are tender.
- Salt to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool while preparing the crust.
For the crust
- 2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds, (preferable golden flaxseeds)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup Vegan Butter
- 1 cup cold water
- Prepare the crust, combine Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour in a bowl, add almond flour, ground flaxseeds, tumeric powder, baking powder, salt in a large bowl and mix well.
- Cut in vegan butter (I used Earth Balance brand) in the flour, using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the dough is crumbly and looks like bread crumbs. Add cold water and mix to form a dough ball, the dough will be much wetter than you are used to but don’t be alarm. Cover bowl and transfer to refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or grease with oil. Set aside.
- Remove bowl from the refrigerator, divide dough into eight or nine pieces. Using an extra sheet of parchment paper roll out each piece of dough into a 4-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Add about 1 heaping tablespoon or more of cooked lentils in the center of the dough.
- Fold half the dough over the filling to make a half moon shape, then press the edges, the edges should easily stick together. Using the tines of a fork, press the edges to seal. Repeat until all the dough balls are filled.
- Transfer patties onto the prepared baking sheet, bake for 25- 30 minutes or until golden brown.
