Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g lentils, red
  • 1 egg(s)
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • 10 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp smoked salt
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 3 tbsp clarified butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Cook the lentils according to the package instructions. Drain and squeeze out any excess water as best as possible using a clean tea towel. Place the lentils in a bowl. If you prefer a smooth mixture, you can puree them with a hand blender at this point. Then add the egg, flour, and seasoning until a pliable mixture forms. Shape the mixture into schnitzels or nuggets and coat in breadcrumbs. Heat the clarified butter in a pan and fry the schnitzels well on both sides until they turn a nice golden brown and become crispy.
