I have about a thousand vegetarian feeds in my google reader, but I'm sure another can't hurt!! I did manage to find a good <a href="http://www.lentilrecipes.org/" rel="nofollow">lentil recipes</A> here, but I'll be sure to try yours too. Thanks!

I used varying ratios, but sadly I had to return to using eggs for the remaining mixture. I had to be very gentle when flipping them during the frying stage to prevent them falling apart. By the end of the simmering process, the bubbles had eaten away at the patties almost entirely and I had a soup with floating oats in it. I think that because the simmering process is unusually harsh on the patties, a very strong binder has to be used - stronger than silken tofu at any rate.

But it works! They are delicious and chewy. About a teaspoon of spice per (full) mixture gives the patty a nice subtle flavouring (I used sage). You may want to put a bit more in if you're after overtly flavoured patties, but not too much. Quick, easy and cheap! One for the recipe collection for sure.
