Ingredients for croquettes:
Method of preparing the croquettes:
-
Strain the lentils well. Cook them with 2 cups water in a pressure cooker, over a medium-high flame. Cook them until the cooker whistles or the lentils soften. Finally, strain the lentils again. If you don't have a pressure cooker, cook the lentils over a medium flame with water, until the water boils. Simmer and cook until they soften. They should be soft enough to mash.
-
Mix the lentils with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Prepare 6 equal-sized croquettes from the mixture.
-
Fry the croquettes in an oiled pan, over low heat, until golden brown on both sides. Place the croquettes on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the oil, plate and serve.
Chef's Tip:
The lentils need to soak for at least 8 hours. A metal bowl would be best as the lentils may stain plastic.
