Savory Lentil Bites with Zesty Lemon Tahini Sauce

In a food processor, combine cooked red lentils, white onion, garlic, tomato paste, chickpea flour, ground coriander, dried basil, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Process until smooth, but still retaining some texture.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Form the lentil mixture into 1-2 tablespoon-sized patties, flattening them slightly.

Fry the patties in the pan for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and water until smooth. Stir in minced parsley and lemon zest.

Serve the lentil bites with zesty lemon tahini sauce on the side, and enjoy as a delicious snack or appetizer.
