Let’s make Armenian Lentil Patties with my mom! We call this ‘Vosbov Kufte’ and this is a vegetarian dish that’s typically enjoyed in Armenian households during Lent, as part of a mezze spread. I grew up eating this all year long, so when my mom was in town, we decided to make a big batch. I wanted to share this recipe with you because it is SO easy to make, super flavorful, healthy, and they are great for meal prep because they are meant to be enjoyed room temp/cold. We hope you love this recipe!⁣ ⁣ 1 yellow onion, diced⁣ 1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced⁣ 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped⁣ 1 cup red lentils⁣ 3 cups water⁣ 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil⁣ 3 tb salted butter (you can omit and add 3 more tb olive oil)⁣ 1 tb cumin⁣ 1 tsp sea salt⁣ 1 cup bulgur, #1 or fine⁣ Aleppo pepper to sprinkle on top—optional⁣ ⁣ Cucumber salad (optional)⁣ 1 tomato, finely diced⁣ 1 Persian cucumber, finely diced⁣ Lemon juice, olive oil and s&p to taste⁣ ⁣ Start by chopping your veggies—the onion, green onion, and parsley, and set aside. Next, add red lentils and water to a pot on the stove over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so the lentils don’t stick to the pan. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and let cook for 15 minutes until the lentils are mushy, again stirring so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Remove from heat. Next, sauté the onions in olive oil and butter, cumin and salt, about 6-7 minutes until onions have softened. Next, add the uncooked bulgur to a large bowl and add the cooked lentil mixture and onion mixture. Stir to coat well. Cover with a towel for 20 minutes so the bulgur softens. Taste and adjust salt and pepper—you will need to add more! Form patties and line them up on a plate. Add the chopped onion and parsley on top and Aleppo pepper, if using. ENJOY! Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.⁣ ⁣ #armenianfood #vosbovkufte #easyrecipes #armenian #armenianculture #healthyrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #mealprep #budgetmeals #budgetfriendly #mealpreplunch #lunchideas ## Stats - **Views:** 124,056 - **Likes:** 6,019 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 325 ## Tags lunchideas, mealprep, vosbovkufte, healthyrecipes, mealpreplunch, easyrecipes, armenian, budgetmeals, budgetfriendly, armenianfood, 1, vegetarianrecipes, armenianculture --- Copyright (c) Gondola
