Vegan Lentil Patties

I had given up making lentil meatballs or patties for a while, they always came out too soft, didn't hold their shape and had a strange consistency.

I found this recipe special because the lentils are hydrated, not boiled, and on this occasion the meatballs work very well, keep their shape and have a denser consistency. They taste just as good, served with a salad or in a sandwich are perfect.

Step 1

Let it hydrate for 8-10 hours, preferably overnight. During this time it will triple in volume, so make sure there is plenty of water in the bowl.
