Vegetarian lentil cutlets
Description
Lentil cutlets are a perfect recipe for fasting. However, I try to prepare this dish not only during fasting periods, because this recipe is a great option for anyone who wants to avoid gaining weight. I always try to include legumes in my diet and sometimes even replace meat with them.

Step 1
Rinse the lentils thoroughly to remove dirt. Leave them to soak overnight in cold water. In the morning, drain the water. Put the lentils into a blender and grind.

Step 2
Wash the vegetables. Peel the carrots and grate finely. Shred the cabbage in the same way. Place both in a bowl together with the lentils. Add salt and spices to taste.

Step 3
Form patties from the resulting mixture. Add a little flour to help the mixture hold together—just a few tablespoons is enough. Fry the lentil patties for about half an hour on a hot skillet, turning them over to cook both sides.

A golden crust is an indication that the patties are cooked properly. They can be served with ketchup and fresh herbs.
