-------- ------------ --------------------------------

FOR THE YULE TIDE RING:

4 ounces butter

1 pound split red lentils

2 1/2 cups water

2 bay leaves

2 large onions -- peeled, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves -- peeled and crushed

1 lemon -- juiced

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

parsley and cranberries to decorate

FOR THE PARSLEY STUFFING BALLS:

6 cups soft white breadcrumbs

6 ounces softened butter

1 onion -- peeled and grated

2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs

6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (6-8)

1 lemons -- grated rind (1-2)

lemon juice

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

 

Use 2 tablespoons of the butter to generously grease a 9-9.5-inch ring mould

(with 5 cup capacity). Preheat the oven to 350F.

 

Put the lentils in a non-stick saucepan with the water and the bay leaves. Bring

to the boil, then cover and leave to simmer, gently for about 20 minutes or

until the lentils are pale in colour and tender.

 

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in another saucepan, add the onions and

garlic, cover and cook very gently for 10 minutes, until tender. Add the onions

to the lentils along with the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

 

Spoon the lentil mixture into the ring mould – it won't completely fill it – and

level the top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. To serve, slip a knife

round the edges to loosen, invert a plate over the top, then turn the mould out

on to the plate.

 

To make the Parsley Stuffing Balls: Mix all the ingredients together, adding

grated lemon rind and juice, salt and black pepper to taste. Roll the mixture

into balls about the size of walnuts and put them, a little apart, in a greased

baking pan. Bake them for about 25 minutes in the oven preheated to 375F,

turning them over after about 15 minutes so that they become crisp all over.

 

Now put the Parsley Stuffing Balls into the centre of your Yule Ring and

decorate the ring with some flat leaf parsley leaves, and whole cranberries.

NOTES : If you don't fancy turkey this year or are fed up of the habitual

vegetarian nut roast, why not try this Yuletide Ring. This is a ring of lentils

garnished with leaves and berries to look like a Christmas wreath, and filled

with parsley stuffing balls.
