Lentil Fritters

I recently discovered that split red lentils can make the best fritters ever. Yup, lentils! I cooked them live on Twitch and everyone was just as shocked as I was the first time.

I am so impressed with this magical recipe that I use the plain batter as a fish coating now. The end result is so crunchy and delicious.

The other massive benefit is that lentils carry other flavours beautifully. This makes them the perfect canvas for any flavour profile you prefer.

When you look at the recipe, you will notice that the lentils are not cooked ahead of time. This is correct. Simply let the dried lentils sit in the water to absorb the water.

You will also see a lot of things missing, like flour and eggs. Yup, that is also correct.

The picture above shows fritters with chopped roasted red peppers and other additions. But, these fritters are just as good plain with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic.

Give this a try and experiment with using it in place of other batter options. I know I will be.
