How to Make Armenian Lentil Patties

In a medium-sized covered pot, combine 1 cup brown or green lentils, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Mix well to combine.
Cover and simmer over low heat for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste) and stir well.
Divide the lentil mixture into 18 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
In a separate bowl, gently combine 1 cup chopped fresh parsley with 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Roll each patty in the parsley-green onion mixture to coat evenly.
