Hi friends,
Vegan burgers are a concept I nonconsciously took a break from several years ago. I’ve tried a bunch of recipes and even published a few of my own, but always found it hard to justify the amount of time-consuming steps with the end results. Frankly, it was just challenging to land in that happy middle of the too-mushy/too-dry spectrum.
But when I opened to the lentil cutlets in Michał Korkosz’s book Polish’d, I was inspired to take a break from my break. The deeply-browned lentil patties were the closest thing I’d seen to vegetarian kotlety (i.e. the Ukrainian idea of a burger) and I just had to try them.
The green lentil patties turned out incredibly savory, flavorful, and filling. The contrast of the crispy pan-fried outsides and the soft interiors, with crunchy bits of walnuts throughout, proved to be the ideal texture…
