So, why add lentils to your fritters?

According to Dr Axe, Lentils are a true health food that date back to the Neolithic times as being one of the oldest crops ever!

They have the ability to improve and maintain heart health, they can help you lose weight in a healthy way, improve your digestion and support healthy blood sugar levels. They are a great source of plant protein and have a high nutrient value.

Just one cup full of lentils is abundant in the following nutrients; manganese, iron, phosphorus and folate.

Whether you are eating Red Lentils, Brown Lentils, French Green Lentils, Black Lentils or Yellow Lentils, they are a great source of fibre, minerals, polyphenols and have many bioactive compounds which are good for your overall health and wellbeing.

Did you know that research now shows how important polyphenols are in preventing many regenerative diseases?

You can cook lentils from scratch within 10-40 minutes pending on if they have been soaked or not.

We suggest soaking your lentils overnight by adding them raw to a bowl and covering them with filtered water. Then, the next day rinse and cook until tender for approximately 20-30 minutes.

Or you can soak for 24 hours and then process before cooking.
You can also buy them pre-cooked in a can which makes it super easy and convenient to work with.

According to Dr Axe, you can also sprout lentils by soaking dried lentils and changing the water every 24 hours. Repeat this process for roughly three days until you begin to see them sprout.

This will positively change the nutrition found in the lentils, increasing the amount of amino acids, vitamins and minerals that the body can absorb. This increased absorption of nutrients is due to the soaking and sprouting reducing antinutrients.

Ingredients
Metric

Ingredients:

100g red lentils
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp dried dill
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 cup cabbage, shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Add lentils to a blender or food processor and blend into a flour if dried.
   
   
2. Combine lentil flour, baking powder, nutritional yeast and spices in a bowl. Add enough water to make a pancake-like batter.
   
   Note: If your lentils have been pre-soaked or pre-cooked, less water will be needed to reach the pancake-like batter.
   
   
3. Stir in cabbage and onion.
   
   
4. Heat a non-stick pan and pour 2 tbsp batter into the pan for each fritter. Cook for a few minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until golden.
   

5. Serve with a delicious salad!

My salad pictured was mixed greens, carrot, corn, avocado and a creamy Dijon hemp dressing!
