WARNING: THIS CONVERSION IS YET TO BE TESTED - FEEDBACK WELCOME!Name of Recipe:Lentil Patties - ILB's Mum's Recipe
Number of People: 10 or more as a meat substitute with veggies or salad
Ingredients:1 brown onion, peeled and quartered
200g brown or green lentils
500g water
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 stock cube
2-4 cups cooked small pasta (Risoni, macaroni)
1-2 tblsp tomato sauce
1-2 eggs
salt & pepper
flour or breadcrumbs to thicken if mixture is too runny.
Preparation:Add onion to bowl through MC hole with blades running at speed 5 for 10 seconds.
Add lentils, water, stock cube, curry powder and simmer on 100C for 1 hour, Reverse Speed Slow Stir
.
If there is excess fluid remaining after this, remove MC and cook for another 15-20 minute until fluid has evaporated.
Tip into a bowl (as I think mixing it in the MC might make it go to mush - but if you could give it a go and let me know
) and add small pasta.
Let cool.
When cool, add: tomato sauce, eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and if too runny add a little flour or breadcrumbs to thicken. Mix.
Fry spoonfuls in a little olive oil in frypan.
(I will try steaming these as an alternative when I make them next).
Photos:Photos to come.
Tips/Hints:This recipe is quiet forgiving, and if you need to extend the recipe a bit you can easily add more lentils and/or pasta. I've never measured anything in this recipe before. As a guide for lentils Mum rule was pour lentils into saucepan and add water until it was about an inch under water. And what ever amount of small pasta you have cooked up would be fine in the recipe.
These are also quiet nice in sandwhiches with salad. Or as an individual snack.
If you would like to remove the "gas" from the lentils, soak and rinse a couple of times first.
