Veggiedellers (FANTASTIC)

I love the Danish dish 'Frikadeller and I thought: how can I make this vegetarian??? 

                         SO HERE IT IS and it is fantastic if I do say so myself  : )

VEGGIEDELLERS


3 cups of cooked red lentils
1 cup of very fine chopped onions
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 eggs slightly beaten (you can leave out the eggs if you like but will make it a harder meatball)
1/4 c milk or soy milk or rice milk  (whatever you prefer)
1/2 c whole grain flour (add more if needed, the mixture has to be pasty)
   ( I will try to explain pasty: you use a tablespoon to scoop up the mixture to make a soft meatball to  be
      placed in a frying pan)
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper

Let the mixture rest in the fridge for about 10 mins...more if you have the time.

Put extra virgin Olive Oil in a frying pan.  Heat to hot.  Now use your tablespoon and make the meatballs.  You do this by forming the meatball (which is pasty remember) along the inside of the bowl that has your mixture in it.  Drop into the frying pan.  Continue doing until your pan is full.

LOWER your heat a little and cook about 3 minutes on each side.

EAT RIGHT AWAY   soooo goood.   You can make a mushroom gravy for this with mashed potatoes  or any other dipping sauce you like.
