Nourishing and Tasty Lentil-Powered Vegetable Patties
Lentil enthusiasts, these lentil burgers are just for you! These robust meat-free burgers are crafted with recognizable and nutritious ingredients, in contrast to many commercially available alternatives today. While my Favorite Veggie Burgers remain my primary choice, these lentil burgers take a close second.
These burgers are seasoned with shredded carrot, fresh cilantro or parsley, onion and garlic, along with spices like chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Including two eggs is optional (leave them out for vegan burgers), but they add moisture and create a lighter texture.
The recipe is easily prepared in the food processor. Similar to my veggie burgers, these lentil burgers are at their best when baked in the oven, offering a more convenient and less complicated approach than frying them in a skillet. They emerge beautifully golden and firm enough to maintain their form within a bun.
## Serving Suggestions for Lentil Burgers
These burgers are best enjoyed with strongly flavored toppings, such as an herbed avocado sauce and pickles. Alternatively, you might serve these burgers sans bread, perhaps on a green salad or atop cooked brown rice, farro, or quinoa, accompanied by some of the topping suggestions below. Keep any leftover burgers in the freezer for a quick protein and fiber-rich addition to future meals.
– Buns or bread of your choice, like hamburger buns, English muffins, or flatbread. Toast them lightly for added texture.
– Sauce options include guacamole, avocado pesto, avocado dip, green goddess tahini dip, ketchup, mayonnaise, or mustard.
– Greens like crisp lettuce, arugula, or spinach.
– Add some crunch with dill pickles, quick-pickled red onions, or thinly sliced radishes or cucumbers.
– Ripe tomato slices, but only when tomatoes are in season!
## Tips for Lentils
This recipe requires 2 1/2 cups of regular greenish-brown lentils. You can prepare them yourself or use canned lentils or pre-steamed lentils from Trader Joe’s. Whichever cooking method you choose, be sure to spread them out on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture before use. If you have any leftover lentils, consider adding them to a green salad this week.

30 Tasty Dinner Ideas for a Warm Autumn Night
**Lasagna Preparation and Storage Tips**
Lasagna is a cherished dish that features layers of pasta, cheese, sauce, and various fillings, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. When making lasagna, there are various tips and techniques that can improve the cooking process and ensure the dish is as flavorful as possible.
**Using Fresh Lasagna Noodles**
One benefit of utilizing fresh lasagna noodles is that they do not necessitate boiling before putting the lasagna together. This can save you time and streamline the preparation process. Fresh noodles are generally more delicate and absorb the flavors of the sauce more efficiently, resulting in a more robust taste.
**Make-Ahead Ideas**
1. **Boil Ingredients Ahead of Time**: If you’re using ingredients like butternut squash, consider boiling them beforehand. Once boiled, you can refrigerate the squash until you’re ready to put together and bake the lasagna. Likewise, if you choose dried noodles, boil them ahead of time, lightly coat them with olive oil to avoid sticking, and store them in the fridge.
2. **Assemble the Entire Lasagna**: For ease, you can put together the whole lasagna before baking and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to blend, improving the overall taste. When you’re ready to bake, lengthen the cooking time as necessary to ensure the lasagna is heated thoroughly and the cheese is perfectly browned.
**Storage Information**
Properly storing lasagna is essential for preserving its quality and taste. Here are a few storage tips:
– **Refrigeration**: Keep leftover lasagna in the refrigerator for up to two days. Make sure it is covered or placed in an airtight container to maintain moisture and prevent it from drying out.
– **Freezing**: For extended storage, freezing is a fantastic choice. The most efficient method is to slice the lasagna into individual portions and freeze each serving in a separate container. This allows you to reheat only the quantity you need.
– **Reheating**: To reheat frozen lasagna, first thaw it in the refrigerator. Once defrosted, place the lasagna in a baking dish, cover it with foil, and reheat it in an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, or until it is heated through.
By adhering to these preparation and storage suggestions, you can savor delicious lasagna with minimal effort, whether you’re enjoying it freshly made or reheating leftovers.

**For the Topping:**
– 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers or panko breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 tbsp melted butter
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. **Mix the Base Ingredients:** In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. **Add the Cheeses and Flavorings:** Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapenos, green onions, and crumbled bacon. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until thoroughly mixed.
4. **Prepare the Baking Dish:** Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. **Make the Topping:** In another bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers or panko breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and toss until the crumbs are nicely coated.

7. **Bake:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.

Easy Recipe for Silky and Creamy Hummus
# My Absolute Favorite Dish to Create with Dried Chickpeas: Hummus
So smooth, so delightful, so much affection for a modest little legume. Hummus is a cherished vegan dip and spread crafted from chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, and spices. Hailing from the Middle East, it has acquired global fame for its delectable taste and nutritional advantages. While many online recipes utilize canned chickpeas, preparing hummus from scratch with dried chickpeas enhances both flavor and texture, yielding a warm and fresh dip that is truly transformative.
## What is Hummus?
Hummus is an adaptable dip that can be savored in numerous ways. Conventionally, it is presented as an appetizer or dip, drizzled with olive oil and herbs, accompanied by warm pita bread. It can also be adorned with toppings like cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers, and served with falafel or as part of a mezze platter featuring a variety of small dishes such as tzatziki, muhammara, or baba ganoush. Beyond dipping, hummus can serve as a spread in sandwiches or wraps, paired with fresh vegetables, dolloped on salads, or simply enjoyed by the spoonful.
## Hummus Ingredients
### Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
Chickpeas constitute the main ingredient in hummus, offering a wholesome base that is rich in protein and low in fat. While canned chickpeas provide convenience, using dried chickpeas significantly enhances the flavor and allows for the addition of more aromatics during cooking.
### Why Use Dried Chickpeas?
Opting for dried chickpeas instead of canned might take additional time, but the flavor reward is substantial. Soaking and cooking your own chickpeas allows for personalization with added aromatics and conserves pantry space. Dried chickpeas are also more budget-friendly and can be utilized in various recipes beyond hummus.
### Tahini
Tahini is a paste derived from toasted ground sesame seeds, imparting a nutty creaminess to hummus. It is crucial for achieving the preferred flavor and texture. Tahini can be bought or prepared at home.
### Lemon Juice
Freshly squeezed lemon juice infuses brightness and acidity into hummus, balancing the richness of tahini and chickpeas. Modify the quantity according to personal taste for a zestier flavor.
### Garlic
Raw garlic imparts a sharp punch and heat to hummus. If a milder flavor is desired, roasted garlic can be substituted, but raw garlic is what bestows hummus its irresistible quality.
### Salt and Spices
Salt is vital for enhancement, while spices like cumin contribute warmth. Extra spices such as smoked paprika or sumac can be sprinkled on top for added flair.
### Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A splash of top-notch extra virgin olive oil serves as the final touch that elevates the overall flavor of the hummus.
## Extra Creamy Smooth Hummus Recipe
### Ingredients
– 1/2 cup dried chickpeas
– 1 tsp baking soda (divided)
– 2 cloves of garlic (unpeeled)
– 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or to preference)
– 1/3 cup tahini
– 2 tbsp ice water
– 1/8 tsp ground cumin
### Instructions
1. **Soak the Chickpeas**: Put chickpeas and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a bowl, cover with cold water, and let it sit overnight. Drain and rinse.
2. **Cook the Chickpeas**: In a large pot, combine soaked chickpeas, remaining baking soda, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. **Blend the Ingredients**: In a blender or food processor, mix in garlic, lemon juice, and tahini. Blend until smooth. Gradually incorporate ice water until the mixture reaches a thick and creamy consistency.
4. **Add Chickpeas and Season**: Add the drained chickpeas and cumin to the blender. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Adjust the consistency with water if needed and season to taste with lemon juice and cumin.
### Serving Suggestions
Serve hummus warm, topped with olive oil and garnished with herbs or chopped vegetables. Savor it with pita, fresh veggies, or simply by the spoonful.
