We advise you to use a kitchen thermometer or to evaluate the temperature by dipping a toothpick in hot oil: if bubbles appear, you can start frying the meatballs.<\/p>\n<p>If you want, you can bread the meatballs twice: dip them in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs and then repeat the operation.  In this way <strong>they will be crispier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Do not add eggs to the dough, as the potatoes are sufficient as a binding agent.<\/p>\n<p>If the dough is too soft, you can <strong>add 1-2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs<\/strong>.  In any case, to avoid this inconvenience it is essential to drain the lentils and potatoes well before blending them.<\/p>\n<p>You can serve the lentil meatballs with an accompanying sauce such as mayonnaise or bbq sauce.<\/p>\n<p>If you like them, you can add spices or herbs, such as thyme or mint.<\/p>\n<p>You can use any lentils you prefer: brown, black, green, red, yellow.  We advise you to use the unhulled ones.  If you use the <strong>hulled lentils<\/strong>add 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the dough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We advise you to consume the lentil meatballs immediately.  Alternatively, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day <strong>heat them in the oven at 150\u00b0C for 10 minutes<\/strong> before serving, but they will lose some of their crunchiness.  We advise against freezing them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"gptslot evo-btf\" data-adunitid=\"3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<section class=\"envireit-recipes-data\">\n<div class=\"ingredients\">\n<h3><i class=\"fas fa-list-ul\"><\/i>  Ingredients for <i>4 people<\/i><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"envireit-recipe-yelds\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Lentils: 400 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Potatoes: 250 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Garlic: \u00bd clove<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Grated Parmesan: 100 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Fine salt: to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Black pepper: to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Sunflower or peanut oil: 500 ml<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Extra virgin olive oil: to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"envireit-recipe-fields\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"preptime\"><i class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i>  Preparation: <i>20 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"cooktime\"><i class=\"fas fa-fire\"><\/i>  Cooking: <i>50 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"totaltime\"><i class=\"fas fa-clock\"><\/i>  Total: <i>1 hour, 10 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"calories\"><i class=\"fas fa-heartbeat\"><\/i>  Calories: <i> 175 kcal\/portion<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fried or baked lentil balls The lentil meatballs they are excellent vegetarian alternatives, healthy, tasty and very easy to prepare.
