Green Lentil Rissoles With Vegan Yogurt Sauce
- 8 ounces green lentils
- 1 pint hot water
- 2 ounces margarine
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- salt
- pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- vegetable oil
- 2 ounces flour Wholewheat
- 2 ounces bread crumbs
- 2 ounces oats
- 1/2 pint plain soy yogurt
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- lemon juice to taste
- salt
- pepper
- Combine lentils and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender (I think it needs closer to an hour to get them really tender). Add more water if necessary. Heat the margarine, add the onion and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the carrot and pepper and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the spices, tomato paste and salt and pepper. Mix together well and stir in the lentils. Add the parsley. Allow to cool till it is cool enough to handle.
- Divide the mixture into 12 portions and shape into patties. Coat them in flour, dip in some oil and coat in the breadcrumbs & oats.
- Shallow fry in hot oil until the patties are golden brown on both sides. Drain well and serve with the sauce.
- To make the sauce, combine all ingredients together and chill.
