Lentil meatballs

Ingredients

Green lentils 150 g
Long grain rice 125 g
Carrot 2 pcs.
Tomato juice 1 l (or water + 3 tbsp. L tomato paste)
Salt pepper taste

Cooking method

  • Soak lentils in water for 12 hours. Drain the water. Grind lentils with a blender until smooth.
  • Boil rice until tender, drain the water. Can be rinsed. then meatballs will be looser and similar to "Hedgehogs". I did not rinse, I got a dense teffty consistency.
  • Grate the carrots on a medium grater.
  • Fry the carrots in a skillet in hot oil.
  • Mix 1/2 part carrots. lentils, rice. season to taste. Form balls.
  • Add tomato juice (water with tomato paste) to the remaining carrots, bring to a boil.
  • Put meatballs in the pan. The liquid should reach the middle of the meatballs.
  • Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Then open the lid, pour the meatballs with juice, close the lid and cook for another 10 minutes. Then pour over the juice again and cook for another 10 minutes. The total time is 30 minutes. I got 25.
  • Serve with gravy
  • An ignorant person will never understand that meat was not lying here and there. Very tasty and satisfying. And the gravy is right here.

The dish is designed for

Ksyusha, what a wonderful recipe! I'll soak the lentils today and cook them tomorrow! Thank you very much for the recipe!
Omela
Svetlana, Thank you! I also soaked the second batch today.
Gala
Oksan, why soak lentils? And if you just rinse?
Omela
Gal, soak to make it softer. It also needs to be crushed, and then it is cooked almost for steam to boil.

Mistletoe, how delicious! I take it, thanks!
Omela
Nina, good health!
Elya_lug
Omelawhat an interesting recipe! And if you make it with orange lentils, it is cooked for about 20 minutes in total, (left this at home), then you don't need to soak it at all for a long time?
Omela
Elya, Thank you! Today I cooked soup with orange (now I’ll draw up a recipe) ... it was practically boiled down in 10 minutes. Theoretically, it should work out, but I don't know how to keep the shape.
Elya_lug
Omela, thanks for the promptness, so you need to look for the green one.
Omela
No, well, you can try ... if they fall apart, just crumble everything and there will be a stew.
Florichka
For some reason, I especially want cutlets during the post. And I gratefully accept your recipe. Love lentils for their slightly peppery flavor.
Elena Kadiewa
Thank you, such a cool recipe! Bookmark for tomorrow.

Omela, can these meatballs be stored in the refrigerator and reheated?
Wildebeest
Elya_lug, orange lentils are only suitable for first courses.

Ksyusha, my mother is a fan of lentils, and I have never cooked it, although my mother strongly recommended it to me. After your recipe, I can't cook this ... In general, now, after your recipe, I won't understand myself if I don't cook it. Thank you, Ksyusha for the recipe. As my husband goes to the city, I will order different things for him and I will prepare everything that you showed us and will show us.
By the way, I was not going to fast, but for some reason it turns out by itself to eat mostly lean dishes. Your recipes are a godsend!
Lily
Thank you very much!!! Another dish in the box for lean dishes! Now is just the right thing ...

Probably in vain ... Now I decided to join, but ... Today my husband was in the city, went into 5 shops and one market. In addition to the soup with lentils in bags, I did not find anything. Next time he will go to the central store and market. Maybe get lucky. Thank you, Ksyusha, for the salad recipes. At one time I germinated wheat, I need to return to this healthy food. I will definitely use your recipes. I read them all at your place. Cool!
Omela
Yes, I haven't met in our stores either ... only in chain supermarkets.

Thank you, Ksyusha, for your concern! I'll ask Anyuta-73 if we don't find it. Her husband often visits his mother in the village - 3 times a month. I'll call her and puzzle. She lives in Moscow, so she will find it. In the meantime, in the absence of lentils, I cooked soup with beans and forest mushrooms today. Delicious!
Omela
I have no doubt it's delicious!

Omela Thank you boom cook
Omela
Olga, good luck!

Natalia,
Marika33
Omela, Ksyusha, thanks! I took it to the bookmarks. You are always so original, appetizing and beautiful!
We have stocked up on lentils for Lent, we respect it, very useful, I cook it.
Omela
Marina, Thank you! Yes. lentils in fasting are one of the main dishes.)
nakapustina
Ksyusha, the meatballs turned out to be delicious, but they didn’t keep their shape very well, maybe because I added fried onions (and a clove of garlic), or maybe I didn’t completely grind the lentils, but I’ll fix it if I say
Everyone liked it, even my husband. Thanks for the recipe, I will repeat it.
Omela
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.
Omela
Today the lentils were soaked for 2 hours ... everything was fine.
BlackHairedGirl
Ksyusha, thanks for the recipe! I'll do it one of these days. Our price for lentils has skyrocketed - 100 UAH. for 1 kg.
Omela
Tan, I was already thinking how to replace lentils ... maybe try peas ???
marina-mm
Omela, thanks for the meatball recipe!
I saw it on the Internet in a different version - it did not inspire, but here such a picture is beautiful, so I decided to cook it. Delicious! My wondered what it was made of. Great for the post!
By the way, soaked lentils reminded me very much of soaked chickpeas, you can probably make such a replacement.
I made falafel from chickpeas, fried there, and meatballs are stewed in sauce, but there is something in common.
And ordinary peas, it seems to me, will give a characteristic taste.
Here in pea sausage, garlic and seasonings are hammered in, and peas are ignited.
This is my thoughts about the replacement.
And the meatballs in the post will definitely repeat.
Omela
Marina, glad you liked! I think that chickpeas for girls in Donetsk will also be problematic to buy. Can I try buckwheat ???
marina-mm
Oksana, it seems to me that buckwheat can fall apart. I fried buckwheat cutlets, there is not enough stickiness for cooking in sauce. Maybe peas all the same
Omela
We'll finish these, I'll try to make them with peas ... although I don't really like it myself.
