WARNING: THIS CONVERSION IS YET TO BE TESTED - FEEDBACK WELCOME!
Name of Recipe:Lentil Patties - ILB's Mum's Recipe
Number of People: 10 or more as a meat substitute with veggies or salad
Ingredients:
1 brown onion, peeled and quartered
200g brown or green lentils
500g water
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1 stock cube
2-4 cups cooked small pasta (Risoni, macaroni)
1-2 tblsp tomato sauce
1-2 eggs
salt & pepper
flour or breadcrumbs to thicken if mixture is too runny.
Preparation:
Add onion to bowl through MC hole with blades running at speed 5 for 10 seconds.
Add lentils, water, stock cube, curry powder and simmer on 100C for 1 hour, Reverse Speed Slow Stir ^^.
If there is excess fluid remaining after this, remove MC and cook for another 15-20 minute until fluid has evaporated.
Tip into a bowl (as I think mixing it in the MC might make it go to mush - but if you could give it a go and let me know ???) and add small pasta.
Let cool.
When cool, add: tomato sauce, eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and if too runny add a little flour or breadcrumbs to thicken. Mix.
Fry spoonfuls in a little olive oil in frypan.
(I will try steaming these as an alternative when I make them next).

Photos to come.
Tips/Hints:
This recipe is quiet forgiving, and if you need to extend the recipe a bit you can easily add more lentils and/or pasta. I've never measured anything in this recipe before. As a guide for lentils Mum rule was pour lentils into saucepan and add water until it was about an inch under water. And what ever amount of small pasta you have cooked up would be fine in the recipe.
These are also quiet nice in sandwhiches with salad. Or as an individual snack.
If you would like to remove the "gas" from the lentils, soak and rinse a couple of times first.

There seemed a bit of interest in this one so let's hope someone tries it out in their 'test kitchen' and reports back ILB.

Ok - we've been warned -we will try
Should add that warning to all my dishes too.

LOL! It is a bit LOUD isn't it. Oops. Well I'm making some this morning so will update the recipe when they're done.

Thanks ILB - we had these for lunch today and they were a winner. My 15 months old twins loved them, as did my 3 year old who thought they were great to dunk in sauce. My 5 year old saw what went into them and would only take the tiniest bite, which she said was nice, but she was scared of the lentils. My carnivore husband ate about 5, so that is a big thumbs up.
I used canned brown lentils. I sauteed the onion in the curry powder for 2 minutes then just mixed in the rest, on reverse speed. The lentils mushed, but the macaroni kept it's shape.
I added a few tablespoons on breadcrumbs and maybe 3 of flour as the mixture was quite wet ( I put in 2 eggs). It held it's shape really well when fried.
I am thinking these will go down a treat at our next bbq.
Thanks again!

Nice and healthy too. It's interesting when people won't eat food because they see what goes into it. Even though she is an adult my DD is the same. Perhaps that is why we so often enjoy eating food others have cooked, we don't see what goes into it.

So glad to hear Kimberley. Miss 4 loves them too and always go down a treat in her lunch box with salad.
Glad to hear it passed the test with most of the family ;) :)

Good work Kimberley - especially with your willingness to play around - shame that your DD saw what went into them!
