Ingredients to make vegan lentil croquettes:
1. Wash the lentils and then drain. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. If you want a tastier stew, add 1 red or green pepper and 5 garlic cloves. You can also add natural tomato or homemade tomato sauce and carrot. Tomato and carrot, give the stew a very good flavor but also limit the conservation time of the lentils after cooked. Prepare a saucepan, pour enough water to cover the lentils. Cook over medium heat until the legumes are tender, then add more water if necessary. Then, let a large part of the liquid be consumed but it must be at least enough for lentils to be hydrated.
Trick: lentils do not need to stand the night before like other legumes because their texture is very soft and would break when cooking. If you add laurel, fennel, cumin, carrot and/or onion, when cooking lentils, you facilitate digestion.
2. Order the ingredients as required for our preparation of lentil croquettes. Drain the lentils, separate the solid part of the liquid, reserve both. The liquid will serve to better process lentil puree, and can also serve to rectify its texture. It weighs and measures the ingredients, cut the onion into cubes, finely pile the parsley and … to the mess!
Trick: It is valid to use the leftover lentils of another meal, the result is the same.
3. Crush the lentils, preferably with a steady potatoes, so they will not be very soft or too dense. Rectify salt, if necessary. Remember, lentils are ideal for many types of vegan recipes.
Trick: If you use an electric cooking assistant, do not exceed the crushing, that it is a consistent puree.
4. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley and mix until a compact mass is achieved. If you consider that you need more compact, add more breadcrumbs. If on the contrary, you need moisture, add the liquid of the lentils very little. Rectifies salt. If vegan croquettes are for adults add pepper, and if you prepare them for children it is preferable not.
Trick: Add the breadcrumbs to discretion, until the desired texture is achieved.
5. Mold Balls with the dough: The final amount of vegetarian lentil croquettes will depend on the size in which each one is elayed. Then, prepare a bowl with breadcrumbs and batter the croquettes one in one. You must cover them completely with the breadcrumbs.
Trick: With this same dough you can form lentil hamburgers if you prefer.
6. Place enough oil inside a cauldron or pan, you must cover at least half of the legume croquettes. Wait until the oil is very hot, almost smoking before frying them. Deposit the croquettes and wait until they harden on the outside, then the fire goes down so that they also warm inside. Do not place many at the same time, because the oil is cooled and undone. Fry the croquettes for reduced batches, the number will depend on the size of the pan. I checked this, because in the first batch place many and softened. In my case, the appropriate number of croquettes was two per batch, due to the size of my casserole. Finally, turn the croquettes, return and return, until each one brown. Place the croquettes on absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Another option is to prepare them in the oven, the croquettes are also very delicious but less crispy. It would be 200 ºC for 30 minutes. If you prefer that lentil croquettes are more juicy when leaving the oven, you can put on top of tomato.
Trick: Remember: When you deposit enough oil in the cauldron, food absorbs less fat than when you use very little. By using enough oil, you just need to immerse the food for seconds, take it out and voila. You can also fry the croque
