Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place a cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat (or other oven proof skillet or baking sheet.)
Pick over the lentils removing any debris or rocks. Add the lentils to a small saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Heat on medium until the lentils come to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the lentils or done. Drain the lentils reserving the cooking liquid. Set aside.
Place the garlic, parsley and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well mixed and chopped.
Add the chickpeas, ½ the cooked lentils with some of the reserved cooking liquid, spices, and lemon juice to the processor. Blend until mixed but still somewhat chunky.
Remove the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the remaining lentils, 2 tablespoons of the oat bran, and the red onion. Fold together using a rubber spatula until blended.
