Lentilball

     The name of this dish is Lentil Meatballs but in Turkey ladies make this Lentil Meatballs without using meat. This is its property. Let’s look how  I can make it.

Ingredients:

• A cup of red lentil
• A cup of thin pounded wheat
• 1/4 vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• A bunch of parsley
• A bunch of green mint
• A bunch of green onion
• Half lemon
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• A pinch of cumin

 

Recipe:

Wash the lentil and drain it. Put it in pot and add  hot water passing over the level of lentil. Boil it until it gets soft. When the lentil is cooked enough add a cup of thin pounded wheat in it then put the lid on the pot and wait for 15 minutes.

Wash parsley, green mint and green onion carefully and chop them small piecess.

 Put  a pan on fire and put vegetable oil in pan. Heat it for about 2-3 minutes then put 1 tbsp tomato paste in it.  Saute the tomato paste by stirring.

Take the lid from the pot and check the lentil ( It is important that there shouldn’t be any water. If there is no enough water in it put some extra hot water in it.)

Add the sauted paste, salt and the other spices in it then knead them perfectly.  After kneading, add the chopped vegetables in it then stir. Take pieces as big as a walnut and make small  balls with your palms.

Enjoy it.
