Lentil Balls/Frikadellen

I do like my soy-based frikadellen, but these are grand, too! Soy-free lentil-based frikadellen, high in protein, and super yummy! They can also be made gluten-free.

Ingredients:

• 150g lentils (I used Spanish pardina)
• 400ml water
• salt
• 60g gluten (you can replace this with corn starch if you wish to make this gluten-free!)
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon marjoram
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon pimento
• 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 1 onion

Instructions:

• Cook lentils in lightly salted water.

• Dice the onion finely.

• Mix the spices with the onions.

• Throw in the lentils.

• Add the tomato paste, some salt, the mustard, and the gluten (or corn starch). Then, blend the mixture.
• I like to leave a few lentils etc. unblended because it adds to the texture.

• Form little lentil frikadellen.
• Fry for a minute or two on each side.

• Done! 
• The Lentil Frikadellen taste great with potato salad!
