I love these easy, plant-based, vegan Herbed Lentil Patties with Mushroom Sauce for a satisfying comfort food meal any day of the week. You can whip up these healthy, protein-rich lentil patties in no time. Just cook together lentils and grains, and mix with veggies, oats, and seasonings. Then shape into patties and bake in the oven until golden brown. Serve these lentil patties with a creamy, savory vegan mushroom sauce. I love to enjoy this recipe with a side of whipped potatoes and a crisp salad for a hearty meal that will satisfy the mind, body and soul.
This recipe is also one of my most popular holiday entrees. This recipe features ancient, gluten-free grains. In fact, the patties are completely gluten-free, and you can make the mushroom sauce gluten-free by swapping out corn starch for the wheat flour.
The mushroom sauce is great for a multitude of dishes, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and veggie balls.

Instructions
To make Herbed Lentil Patties:
Place lentils and quinoa (or other ancient grain) in a small pot and add broth. Cover and simmer over medium heat about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender. You may have to add additional water to compensate for evaporation during cooking.
Drain any leftover liquid and transfer cooked lentils and quinoa to a bowl and mash slightly.
Add carrot, onions, herbs, garlic, oats, flax, oregano, and black pepper to bowl with lentils and teff and mix well. Add mustard, soy sauce and vinegar and stir well to moisten all ingredients. Chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Press ½-cup lentil patty mixture into a measuring cup or scoop, place onto the baking sheet, and flatten down to create firm, round patties about ½-inch thick. Form 8 patties with mixture.
Place in oven on top rack and bake for about 40 minutes, until golden and firm. Remove and serve with mushroom sauce.
To make Mushroom Sauce:
While lentil patties are baking, make Mushroom Sauce. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan.
