Cook lentils using 1 cup of water until tender for about 20 minutes and do the same with the rice for about 20 minutes. I use a mix of brown and wild rice.
Ensure you do not cook the lentils too long as they will lose their shape and become mush.
Once both have cooled, mix together in a big bowl.
Add the 2 eggs, onion, garlic, and walnuts.
Dig your hands in and mix until well combined. If it still seems too wet to form into patties, add a bit more bread crumbs until the mixture is suitable.
Form into about 6 palm-sized patties or your desired size.
Heat about 2 or 3 teaspoons of coconut oil in a large frying pan and cook patties in the oil until golden brown and crispy on each side.
