in a bed of tomatoes and onions, vegan

Cut off the stem end of the zucchini and cut it lengthwise into slices about 5 mm thick. I used 8 slices. I used a slicer. Place the zucchini slices in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften them a bit before forming the rolls. Cook the lentils in the water for about 10 minutes until tender. Place the cornflakes, chickpea flour, and a pinch each of pepper, chili, oregano, marjoram, paprika, and herb salt in a food processor. Add the cooked lentils, including any remaining liquid. Grind everything into a paste. It’s fine to leave a few pieces of lentil visible. Season to taste with the spices. Spread the paste over the zucchini slices, roll them up, and secure each one with a wooden toothpick. Peel the onions and dice them not too finely. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onions until light brown. Add the tomatoes and season with a little herb salt. Top with the zucchini rolls and cook with the pan covered for about 10 minutes.
