Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 oz Green lentils
3 Medium-sized carrots
3 sl Bread
1 Onion
1 Clove garlic
1 oz Or so parsley (could be
Omitted, or you could use
Cilantro)
1 Egg
Seasoning to taste
Little wholemeal flour to
Coat (may not be necessary)

Boil lentils for 20 minutes in water, drain, and mash
gently - not too hard, as you want some of them to
stay whole. While they are cooking, peel and grate
the carrots, make the bread into crumbs, and finely
chop the onion, parsley and garlic. Mix these and the
seasoning with the mashed lentils, and bind together
with egg. Form into burgers or rissoles or whatever
you call the things, coat with flour - I still don't
know if this is necessary - and cook under the grill
(broiler) for 5 minutes each side. *Tomato sauce made
like this: 1 onion 1 clove garlic 1 tbs tomato puree
(paste) 1 tin tomatoes A little extra water Seasoning.
Microwave onion and garlic for about 3 minutes;
transfer to saucepan with the tomato puree, stir, add
tinned tomatoes and a little water, season, bring to
the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. If it's a
bit liquid, boil harder to reduce - get it to the sort
of consistency you would like, bearing in mind you
have brown rice to moisten!
