A wonderful vegetarian lentil bite that can be made from ingredients I recommend keeping in your pantry at all times. Perfect for topping pasta, adding to sandwiches, or crumbling in salads.
Tips & Tricks: I always get asked if you can use other types of lentils. The short answer? No. Red lentils are split and cook quickly/lose their texture. Black/Beluga and Le Puy/French lentils have too much texture (which makes them perfect for salads, not for these lentil bites.)
I also made these on facebook live. If you want a visual guide, check out the video.
Finally, speed up the process by batch cooking the lentils for use throughout the week. Also, these lentil bites freeze well. Place on a sheet tray, as if you were about to bake. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes then transfer the bites to a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
