Thanks to Marc Brazeau, Food and Farm Discussion Lab, for this tasty recipe for nutritious, delicious, and sustainable lentil burgers.
Marc said, “After attending a talk at Powell’s books by author Liz Carlisle and farmer David Oien about their book, Lentil Underground, I decided that I needed a way to ratchet my lentil consumption up another notch.”
A variation on the classic French spread of olives, capers, and garlic that has been lightened up with lentils. Serve with toasted French bread, pita bread, or chips.
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, comfort food for so many. Hot or cold, meatloaf for dinner or meatloaf sandwiches for lunch, you can’t go wrong with this spicy bean and Timeless green lentils meatless meatloaf.
Many of the ingredients used in this recipe were original to the New World, while others represent the cultures that followed Columbus after his first voyage, such as lentils – try Timeless Black Beluga Lentils® – and spices.
Here is a new recipe from my cookbook, Pulse of the Earth: Local Foods/Global Flavors.
Enjoy!

In parts of Latin America and in most of the Caribbean Islands, plantains are a staple of our daily diet.
In this recipe, the ripe plantain serves as a binding agent to the lentils eliminating any type of flours. The lentils, eggs and the cheese add protein and bring a savory taste to the dish.
Serve the bites as an accompaniment to your main dish, or like we do it at home, for breakfast with a friend egg, “a caballo,” or on horseback.
Enjoy!
