  1. 1

    Prepare amaranth in water according to package instructions. Put the lentils and 600 ml water in a pot. Bring to the boil covered and cook over a low heat for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix the lentils and amaranth and leave to cool. Peel and wash the potatoes and simmer in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the potatoes, let them evaporate and press them through a potato ricer to the amaranth-lentil mixture. Peel and finely dice the onions. Wash parsley, shake dry and chop finely. Add onions, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to the amaranth mixture and mix.

  4. 4

    Shape the mixture into approx. 8 balls (approx. 125 g each), press flat and chill.

  5. 5

    Peel and finely chop the garlic. Halve avocado and remove core. Remove the flesh from the skin and dice roughly. Coarsely puree avocado, garlic and lemon juice with a hand blender, stir in yoghurt, season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Wash and slice the tomatoes. Peel onions and cut into fine rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, sauté the onions in it, sprinkle with sugar, allow to caramelize and deglaze with vinegar.

    Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Fry the amaranth patties in it in portions, turning on each side for about 3 minutes. Roast the toasties, spread the avocado cream on the lower halves, cover with tomato slices, place the amaranth patties on top, spread the onions on top and cover with a lid.
