Lunch. Lentil patties. Homemade bread. Salad. YUM


Lunch was good! I loved it. And there was far too much so I left some. Miss E loved it. (the mark of approval from the 4 year old is the one that truly counts!)


It was quick and easy to make. Tasted good. And good for us!


On a winner here.


The bread was the one I posted about earlier. I didn't have time for all the rising times so when I tried to make buns it flattened - but worked out well - kinda like a healthy wholemeal foccacia. I sprinkled linseeds and pepitas in the top before baking, just to increase our number of plant foods - and they were great! The honey in this bread gave it a delicious flavour and I prefer to use honey than the sugar that is in most breads.
The lentil patties were a form of bucket cookery. No recipe. Just throw it in and see what works.
As best I can recall we had
  • a tin of brown lentils (I normally use dried but this was leftover from a camping trip)
  • an egg to bind
  • celery and onion finely diced
  • cauliflower very finely diced
  • turmeric
  • garlic
  • cumin
  • my mix was too moist so I did use some rolled oats to help bind it. If you are looking for gluten free I tend to make "crumbs" out of rice cakes and this works really well

I just shallow fried these in a pan with some extra virgin olive oil.

They worked out really well and were tasty! I need to make some yoghurt so we could serve them with a drizzle of natural yoghurt - that would be NICE

Served with salad (my girl is obsessed with capsicum) and overall deliceious!
