Receta Lentil Fritters
The original recipe on this calls for burghul, which I had no idea what it was. But come to find out that couscous is a substitute. If you are able to find burghul by all means use it. The directions below are for couscous, and burghul might require more cooking.

- Cook your rinsed lentils in 2 1/2 c water until tender, about 30 minutes.
- Add 1 cup boiling water to your couscous and cover with plastic for about 5 minutes.
- Stir the couscous and lentils together once they are both cooked.
- Sweat your onion in a hot skillet with some olive oil until tender and translucent.
- While they are cooking, add your garlic, cumin, coriander, mint, eggs and flour to the lentil mix.
- Stir in the onions.
- If the mixture isn't holding together, add a little more flour.
- Add some more oil to the hot pan and spoon in the fritters a little at a time. You want to make them like little pancakes.
- Cook about 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with a yogurt sauce:
- 1 small cucumber, peeled, halved and seeded
- 1 c Greek yogurt
- 1 T minced garlic
- Grate the flesh of the cucumber into the yogurt and garlic. Stir and serve.
