Add a photoThe original recipe on this calls for burghul, which I had no idea what it was. But come to find out that couscous is a substitute. If you are able to find burghul by all means use it. The directions below are for couscous, and burghul might require more cooking.

- 3/4 c lentils, brown

- 1 onion, minced
- 1 1/2 T minced garlic
- 1 T cumin
- 2 tsp coriander
- 3 T minced mint
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 c flour
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
- Cook your rinsed lentils in 2 1/2 c water until tender, about 30 minutes.

- Stir in the onions.
- If the mixture isn't holding together, add a little more flour.
- Add some more oil to the hot pan and spoon in the fritters a little at a time. You want to make them like little pancakes.
