Instructions

Lentil Meatballs:

  • Peel the carrots and onion.
  • Grate the vegetables on the coarse side of a grater.
  • Pour oats, lentil flour, and sesame seeds into a bowl.
  • Add water, grated onion and carrot, pressed garlic, salt, and spices.
  • Mix the "dough" well, perhaps with an electric mixer. It should have the consistency of a thick porridge.
  • Heat a pan with plenty of oil and add butter when the oil is hot.
  • Fry the meatballs on both sides until they are golden and crispy.

Rösti:

  • Peel the potatoes and onion.
  • Grate them on the coarse side of a grater.
  • Put the grated vegetables in a cloth and squeeze them completely free of liquid.
  • Put the grated potatoes and onion into a bowl and add eggs, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Heat a pan with plenty of butter and oil.
  • Put the rösti mixture in the pan and fry it on both sides until the rösti is golden and crispy.

Pea Purée:

  • Peel the onion and garlic and dice both.
  • Heat the butter in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic in it. They should not become brown, only translucent.
  • Add the peas and let them simmer with the onion and butter for 10-15 minutes.
  • Blend everything together and season the purée with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Serving:

  • Serve the crispy lentil meatballs with rösti and pea purée.
