Low Fat Red Lentil And Garbanzo Bean Croquettes Recipes

LOW FAT RED LENTIL AND GARBANZO BEAN CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes; cut and place into boiling water in saucepan; BOIL for 10 minutes.
• ADD red lentils to potatoes in water for 3 minutes; DRAIN.
• Return to pan, add garbanzo beans (drained chickpeas if using canned) and MASH and add black pepper.
• Oil spray fry pan (or use 2 teaspoons stock) and sauté green onions (spring onions), bacon, garlic and chili sauce for about 4 minutes; add coriander and parsley.
• ADD bacon mixture to mashed mixture; combine well.
• NOTE: Taste at this point and adjust to YOUR liking; no use continuing if you don't like the taste or texture at this point.
• With 1/2 measure cup, take up combined mixture into hands and roll onto cornflake crumbs (on flat tray) like small sausages.
• NOTE: If you place mixture between hands (that look like they are praying), roll back and forth to make it easier to evenly roll; tap both side to square out.
• Place on flat plate, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• NOTE: Make sure croquettes are nicely covered all over.
• PREHEAT oven 210°C; place baking paper on flat tray; place croquettes and lightly oil spray one side.
• BAKE for 10 minutes, turn, lightly oil spray and bake for another 10 minutes.
• ENJOY! Serve with any sauce you enjoy! We like Tzatziki!
• NOTE: I count to 5 when using oil spray.
• NOTE: I got 13 out of mine.
