Directions

  1. Prepare the lentil and rice according to the instructions.
  2. Return the pepper to the hot oil for 5 minutes. Remove the pepper from the oil, mix it with the cooked rice, lentils, and cheese, then season with salt and a little pepper.
  3. Spread the mixture on a damp plate, forming a 20 cm diameter disc, and let it cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Cut the chilled disc into four pieces. Sprinkle each piece with a small amount of flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg and breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side. Toast the bread, and spread with mayonnaise. Place a pancake on each lower half, top with onion, lettuce, and cucumber, then close with the other half.
