Ingredients

• 4 scallions, trimmed
• 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
• 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2 cups cooked lentils (from one 17.6-oz. package or from two 15-oz. cans, drained)
• 1 cup cooked farro
• 1/2 cup mashed roasted sweet potato (about 1 medium potato)

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and oats until a coarse meal forms. Add 1 cup lentils and pulse until a thick but not mushy paste forms; transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 cup lentils, the farro, mashed sweet potato and chopped scallions; season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form into six 3/4-inch-thick patties; season both sides with salt.

Add the oil and heat over medium-high. Add the patties; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
