Lentil meatballs

I think that chickpeas for girls in Donetsk will also be problematic to buy.

Our chickpeas are just cheap, 40 UAH each. Beans are also at 40 UAH.

Oh great! Only in the chickpea is this film on top ... I always clean it.

Yes, me too, although this is a dreary business

I, in principle, like this activity .. such a meditation !! But after 200g it is somehow tiring, yes .. And now I make hummus every three days.

[Omela]

Omela, I have made hummus many times. And falafel is made from raw chickpeas. But it never occurred to me to clean from films, it normally grinds in a blender. Is it only to meditate

[Marina]

Marina, Thank you! I try not to clean it.

[Omela]

Omela, I made meatballs. But not very successful in form came out. I bought the right lentils, but they were soaked for only 5 hours, I was afraid that my blender would not cope, so I boiled for 5 minutes. Probably not necessary. I twisted it in the combine and threw the rice there too. I shouldn't have smashed him with knives. It stuck together well, but in the process of stewing, almost all the meatballs fell apart, almost porridge came out. But the taste pleased me, I will repeat.
BlackHairedGirl, we have 40 UAH for one price. everything, and peas and beans and lentils. I need to buy chickpeas, I have never tried it, I saw it too.

[Omela]

Omela, Mistletochka, dear, thanks again for the recipe for meatballs.
Everything worked out for me, nothing fell apart, we will repeat.

[Sveta]

nothing fell apart,

Sveta, Slavate, and then some kind of attack. I don't even have a hint of falling apart. Husband. on the contrary, asks not so dense.

I shouldn't have smashed him with knives.

Elya, well, you generally prepared your own version. You can safely eat raw soaked lentils, so you can not be afraid for a blender, or grind in parts. In general, the main thing is that I liked the taste .. now you can cook it according to the recipe.

[Omela]

Omela, I would even say that my meatballs were very dense without a hint of falling apart.

In, and I have such. I think I'll rinse the rice next time, maybe it will be softer.

With a blender, yes, it turns out very dense. They say (I have not tried cooking myself yet, but tried to eat) that it is better to grind with a meat grinder, then the structure turns out to be more crumbly and similar to minced meat. Only the meat grinder is lazy to wash then.

[Natalia]

Natalia, glad you liked. did you wash the rice? What lentils did you make? I had very tight ones, especially on the second day. And my husband also really liked it.

Ksyusha, I'm sorry, I missed
Rice washed, green Canadian large lentils from Mistral. Grind with a submersible blender. I want to repeat it next week.

Natasha, well, the washed rice is not so sticky. And I'm too lazy to get the meat grinder.

[Omela]

Omela, I just started to master lentils, so I was reinsured with boiling.

[Elya]

Elya, and next time you try raw on the tooth, it chews easily.

[Omela]

Omela, me on you, mona? I tried it, it chewed, the shell peeled off, that's why I was reinsured. Oh, some verse turned out

me to you, mona

similarly!

because of her, and reinsured.

Do not be afraid next time, it will finely grind.

I have made hummus many times. And falafel is made from raw chickpeas. But it never occurred to me to clean from films, it normally grinds in a blender.

Marina, I remembered you many times with a kind word! I tried not to peel the chickpeas, grind normally. did not affect the taste. But how to meditate loss ???

By the way, about hummus. Now I am making a budget option - instead of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds (I fry a little in a pan).The ratio of chickpeas: seeds is 2: 1. I grind the seeds first, then the chickpeas, then the oil and the chickpea broth. Salt to taste. Delicious!

[Omela]

But how to meditate loss ???

Omela,

I tied it up, firstly, it doesn't wear anything, everything hangs in the closet and gets only for show. A. secondly, there is no time, I used to knit when the child was asleep, but now fffse, lafa is over !!!!

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, chickpeas went to soak. We need to make hummus with sunflower seeds. Thanks for the idea and proportions!

Come on, I'm grinding right now.

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, so for the sake of meditation, take the pens.

Well, there are a lot of things to do for pens .. you need to paint the boards for photographing, make crafts for Easter ... but I can't find the time, but knitting, yes, it really calms me down .. if you still have an mp3 player with a good book in my ears. But here you need something to hook, in the sense of a model of some kind. Oh, I really wanted to .. go pick the strings.

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, here's a meditation ...
I also brought nutata dough for breakfast.
And the meatballs will have to be repeated in a couple of days, otherwise mine will howl from legumes in a row.
I report: they ate nutata with pleasure
Hummus is ready, delicious. Tomorrow I will feed.

So I turned the lentils in a meat grinder. And yet, yes, the meatballs turned out to be tender and soft!
Having formed meatballs, I baked them in AF. And then she poured the sauce and stewed it. I decided to cook the second batch in AF, and not on the stove. The meatballs fell apart and the porridge came out, albeit delicious.

[Rita]

RitaThanks for the grinder experience! Now we know for sure: with a blender - dense, with a meat grinder - soft.

[Omela]

Omela, Ksyusha, I am very grateful from myself and my husband! cooked meatballs today, liked it very much, delicious. The husband did not understand what they were made of.
I spun the lentils in a meat grinder, took into account the wishes in the comments, washed the rice. It turned out, gentle, soft. They kept their shape well.
Thanks for the recipe!

Oooo, Marin, you look like hedgehogs !!! Glad you liked!

Ksyusha, now she could not resist and ate meatball, it is very tasty and cold. I really know the composition, and all the same, the ingredients are not determined separately.
Thank you for the recipe! Last year I made cutlets from lentils, but nobody was impressed by them.

I also love them cold, I cut them for sandwiches too.) I'm glad that I liked the recipe. !!!

Oh. and I often make such meatballs in a slow cooker.
Usually, I immediately soak a whole pack of lentils, then grind them with a combine, though together with onions, add rice, cut them. I send more than half to the freezer in reserve .. The main thing is that there is enough sauce, then they are juicy.

[*** yana ***]

*** yana ***, a great idea with freezing, I didn't think of something. And the sauce, yes, this is the main subtlety!

I also like to make them with white sauce .. This is when to stew with onions and carrots, garlic and water with 1 spoon of tomato paste (just for sourness). Ready to serve with homemade mayonnaise. And for garnish slices of Adyghe cheese.

With cheese - this is after the fast.

Well, I shared it for information. And then I am a vegetarian, and do not pay attention to it already .. Mayonnaise, by the way, I have without eggs and milk.

By the way, I have mayonnaise without eggs and milk.

I also did one this year for the first time. What recipe do you use?

Very often I just beat the vegetable oil with the ginger marinade with a blender (any marinade is suitable). In proportions by eye. Or vegetarian, according to your mood .. There are a lot of options.

It is clear, by the way, about butter .. I recently also whipped just butter with crushed garlic, it also turned out to be a white mass, not mayonnaise, of course, but quite a decent dressing.)

I like it with asafoetida or ginger and sprouted buckwheat or sunflower seeds

I'll have to try with sunflower, thanks for the idea!

With sunflower, by the way, very little oil is needed. For a glass of sprouted daily allowance 2-3 tablespoons total. + Salt, mustard and garlic if desired .. And regulate the density with water Or ginger marinade instead of all this .. I like it the most.

Yesterday I cooked meatballs, but it turned out to be a lentil soup. The reason, I think, is that I washed the rice during cooking, so the meatballs are boiled. It is probably possible to cook with raw rice as well. My little daughter and I were very pleased with the taste. Thank you, I will definitely repeat the dish.

[Yaroslavna]

Yaroslavna, with raw rice hardly. You can try pouring boiling water over the rice and leave it covered for 10 minutes. Then there is enough stewing time to cook the rice.
Shl. Try the red lentil cutlets too. Look at the recipe in my profile, I can't insert a link from my phone.

Mistletoe, thank you very much for the recipe And really delicious

Mistletoe, thank you very much
For a long time the recipe lay in my bookmarks, finally I decided. Very tasty, it really looks like meat, you can't confuse it with meatballs of course, but it looks like it. I decided for myself - I will definitely repeat, the family has not tried it yet, I will not say from what
Here is the report

Can you replace rice with an egg?
I read everything, no one tried it ...
Or is it another recipe?
