(Updated Feb 2023, back by popular demand!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year, my family and I made an effort to eat less meat. We started with \u201cMeatless Mondays\u201d and now we are aiming for \u201cMeat-free Fridays\u201d too. I wanted to come up with something that was still tasty and fun, yet packed with goodness. So after some brainstorming, I concocted my Greek-inspired Crispy Lentil, Spinach and Feta Fritters.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Always trying to incorporate more veggies into our meals, these protein-packed lentil patties have just the right combination of tangy, low fat feta cheese, black olives, spinach and a good hit of lemon. We even use them as a hamburger substitute and throw a fritter on a bun with cucumbers, tomatoes and a dollop of tzatziki.<\/p>\n

My kids love them! Add a squeeze of extra lemon and serve warm or cold. They also freeze great and are a regular addition to my daughter\u2019s school lunch.<\/p>\n

According to Lentils.org<\/a>, my go-to resource and inspiration for lentil-based recipes, lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are a low-fat source of potassium, calcium, zinc, niacin and vitamin K, but are particularly rich in dietary fibre, protein, folate and iron. These are a really\u00a0fabulous meat-free alternative if that’s something you’re looking for!<\/p>\n
