Sprouted lentil patties

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 400 g lentils
• Water for watering
• 2 large onions
• 3 m.-sized carrot(s)
• ½ cucumber(s)
• 100 g flour, whole grain
• 3 tbsp sesame paste (tahini)
• 3 tsp salt
• 1 bunch of coriander leaves
• 1 tbsp paprika powder, hot
• pepper
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 40 minutes

Wash the lentils (in my case they were green) thoroughly and place them in a bowl with about 3/4 liter of water and wait for about 5 hours. Then wash them again every few hours and let the water drain. The lentils will germinate after about 1 – 1 1/2 days, depending on the ambient temperature. Put the lentils through a meat grinder with the coriander and onions. Finely grate the cucumber and carrots, add them to the lentils with the tahini and stir. Now add the flour and all the remaining spices and mix everything well. Form a not too thick patty and fry it to test it. If it falls apart, you need a little more flour, but it usually works fine as is. Then form patties from the mixture and fry on both sides.
