Guidelines:
Prepare the lentils: Wash them and cook them in water or vegetable broth until they boil. Lower the heat and let them cook gently until they are soft (around 20-25 minutes). Remove any extra liquid and let them cool a bit.
Make the Mix: In a big bowl, crush the cooked lentils with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth. Put the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to mix.
Mix the ingredients: Add the egg and breadcrumbs and stir. This will help stick the ingredients together and make it easier to shape them into patties.
Make the Patties: Form the mixture into flat, round shapes that are about half an inch thick.
Make the patties: Warm up some olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Cook the patties in hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
