Ingredients

  • 250 gram Lentils Red
  • 800 gram Water
  • 2 pcs. Onion
  • 100 gram Soy Milk
  • 70 gram Oatmeal
  • 150 gram Wheat Flour
  • 18 gram Tamari Soy Sauce
  • 18 gram Salt
  • Spices Pepper, oregano, paprika, turmeric, and curry
  • Oil Flavorless. For frying

Instructions

  • The lentils to be used in this recipe are the small red lentils.
  • Boil them in water for about half an hour until they become a smooth mass. Strain them using a sieve, so only the cooked lentils remain (similar to when you boil pasta).
  • Finely chop the onions and add them along with the spices to the lentils in a bowl. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes so you can work with the mixture.
  • The mixture needs to be turned into a "fars," so add the remaining dry ingredients (oatmeal and flour).
  • Mix the "fars" and then gradually add tamari and soy milk. You might need to use an extra 1 dl of soy milk; it's important that the consistency of the "fars" is a bit wetter than regular meatball mixtures.
  • Use a large, heavy-bottomed pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Add oil and 1 tablespoon of "fars" at a time.
  • Fry them until golden, which takes a couple of minutes on each side.
  • Serve immediately after.
