It's a wonderful
autumnal weekend. It has gotten slightly chillier here, and it could
also rain today, but I think it's gorgeous with all the autumn
colours going on at the moment. I started the day with cleaning the
flat and will go to a Oktoberfest party later. That should be fun. I
heard that they might even have some German veggie food, but they
will definitely have good German beer!
I made these
crunchy pea and lentil nuggets and served them in different
combinations on consecutive days. On the first day I served them in
sandwiches with pickled red onions and cabbage slaw, and on the
second day I served them with cheesy tomato pasta and cabbage and
peanut salad. The nuggets themselves are vegan, and they turned out
quite good. They were easy to bind together and got crispy on the
surface after the frying.
Pea and lentil nuggets
Ingredients
1 cup dried pea
crush
½ cup puy lentils
1 onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp vegetable
stock powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground
black pepper
½ tsp smoked
paprika
2 tbsp wheat flour
Vegetable oil for
frying
Method
Cook the pea crush
and puy lentils until they are done.
Chop the onion and
garlic finely and cook them in oil until soft.
Mix the onions
with the pea and lentils and season. Also add the flour as an extra
binding agent.
Let the mix cool
down. Shape nuggets from it and fry them in oil until they are crispy
and golden brown.
Serve with your
favourite sides and enjoy!

Have a nice
weekend!

I love the look of how crunchy these are - we have had rain which is really needed as much as it is lovely to have sunshine - finally a dry day today for drying the washing outside
ReplyDeleteIt has been an incredibly dry autumn here so far. Yesterday it only rained very briefly and then it was sunny again. Well, I can't complain, it's certainly better than getting soaking wet every day.
DeleteWhat a delicious looking pea and lentil nuggets, so crunchy and healthy! Thanks for linking it to MLLA #121.
