Vegan Frikadeller
Let's get cultural with one of Denmark's favourite dishes: Frikadeller. This recipe is handed over to me from my friend, it's completely veganlydelicious. These are super easy and after one go, you'll master the recipe. It has become a weekly favourite with us. We use it for sandwiches, burgers, salads and quick snacks on the go.
| Ingredients | |
| 200 ml red lentils, rinsed | |
| 100 ml pumpkin seeds, chopped in a mix of fine and rough, to give texture and bite | |
| 100 ml oats | |
| 100 ml flour (white flour, wholewheat flour, spelt or oat flour) | |
| 100 ml water | |
|
4 spring onions, finely chopped |
|
| 3 tsp madras curry powder | |
| 1 tsp salt | |
| 3 tsp paprika | |
| 1 tsp garam masala | |
| 2 tbsp lemon juice | |
| 1 tbsp Soya sauce | |
| Black pepper | |
| Let's do it | |
| 1) | In a small sauce pan, place rinsed red lentils and water. Bring to boil. Once boiling add a lid and let simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove from heat. Let it rest while you get the rest of the ingredients ready. |
| 2) | Add the hot lentils to a bowl with the fresh chopped spring onions. |
| 3) | Add everything else mix, mash and fold |
| 4) | Let the lentil mixture rest in the fridge 10-15 minutes* - it may seem a bit wet, but trust me, it's perfect for moist and tasty patties.You can leave the batter for longer if you need. |
| 5) | When you are ready, head a frying pan with a dash of oil. Dunk a serving spoon of the pattie-batter onto the pan. No need to shape them. They will all come out beautifully different, like us. |
Serve with olive bread, tofu Caesar salad and asparagus.
If you are on a roll make green peas frikadeller as well.
*Pep it up and change with different spices.
