Lentil Recipes

Gentle Lentil Ball Sub

 

Lentils are amazing legumes! Quick and easy to prepare compared to

most dried beans, lentils readily absorb delicious flavors from other

vegetables and seasonings. Low in fat and high in protein and fiber,

these tasty legumes are packed with nutrients. Lentils, available

throughout the year, can make for an invigorating, fulfilling meal.

Try this recipe and you'll see. This unique Gentle Lentil Ball sub

highlights the versatility of lentils and is much healthier than a

meatball sub.

 

Ingredients:

 

3 cups water or vegetable stock

1/2 cup lentils, rinsed

1/2 cup brown rice

2 tsp. dried basil

1 ½ tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/4 cup onion, finely diced

1/2 cup green & red peppers, finely diced

2 Tbs. green onion, minced

2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped

1 Tbs. soy sauce

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. black pepper

safflower oil

2-3 cups marinara sauce

6 submarine rolls (6 " ) or hot dog buns

 

Directions:

 

1. Place water or vegetable stock in a medium saucepan and bring

to a boil.

2. Add lentils, brown rice, and dried herbs.

3. Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils

are tender (about 35 minutes).

4. Drain excess liquid;add onion, peppers, green onion, parsley,

garlic powder, salt, & pepper.

5. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture well to combine all of

the ingredients.

6. Taste, adjust seasonings, as needed, and set mixture aside to

cool slightly.

7. Lightly oil a non-stick cookie sheet, and set aside.

8. Shape cooled lentil mixture into balls (about 1¼ " around) and

place on the cookie sheet.

9. Using your fingers, rub a little safflower oil over the top of

each lentil ball.

10. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes (until lentil balls are

lightly browned on the outside).

11. To assemble the sandwiches: split open the roll, spoon some

marinara sauce onto the bottom, place 4 of lentil balls into the

roll, and top with some additional sauce.
