Ingredients:
8 ozGreen lentils
3 Medium-sized carrots
3 sliceBread
1 Onion
1 Clove garlic
1 ozOr so parsley (could be
Omitted, or you could use
Cilantro)
1 Egg
Seasoning to taste
Little wholemeal flour to
Coat (may not be necessary)
Procedures:
1Boil lentils for 20 minutes in water, drain, and mash gently - not too hard, as you want some of them to stay whole.
2While they are cooking, peel and grate the carrots, make the bread into crumbs, and finely chop the onion, parsley and garlic.
3Mix these and the seasoning with the mashed lentils, and bind together with egg.
4Form into burgers or rissoles or whatever you call the things, coat with flour - i still don"t know if this is necessary - and cook under the grill (broiler) for 5 minutes each side.
5*tomato sauce made like this: 1 onion 1 clove garlic 1 tbs tomato puree (paste) 1 tin tomatoes a little extra water seasoning.
6Microwave onion and garlic for about 3 minutes; transfer to saucepan with the tomato puree, stir, add tinned tomatoes and a little water, season, bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes.
7If it"s a bit liquid, boil harder to reduce - get it to the sort of consistency you would like, bearing in mind you have brown rice to moisten!
