Servings: persons

2 15-ounce cans lentils, rinsed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup bread crumbs
kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 head red cabbage, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus more for serving
4 pocketless pitas, warmed

1
In a food processor, puree 1 can of the lentils with the cilantro, parsley, garlic, and cumin until nearly smooth. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the bread crumbs, the remaining can of lentils, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Form into sixteen 1/2-inch-thick patties.
2
In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, lightly mash the cabbage with the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper; set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, crushed red pepper, and 1/4 cup water.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook the patties until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet for the second batch.
4
Dividing evenly, top each pita with the patties, cabbage mixture, yogurt sauce, and the additional cilantro and crushed red pepper.
