Lentil and rice meatballs are a great idea for lunch or dinner. The recipe is useful and simple. Cooking is easy, and the result is a delicious and satisfying lean dish.

Ingredients

  • Lentils – 1.5 cups
  • Boiled rice – 1 glass
  • or dry rice – 40-50 g
  • Bulb onions – 2 pcs.
  • Garlic – 2 cloves
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, dill) – 3 sprigs
  • Ground nutmeg – to taste
  • Ground paprika – to taste
  • Ground black pepper – to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Finely ground corn grits (or breadcrumbs or flour) – for breading
  • Vegetable oil for frying – 100 ml

Directions

  1. Prepare the required foods. Rinse the lentils well, cover with cold water and leave overnight (or for 2-3 hours). Rinse the rice well and boil in salted water (in a ratio of 1: 2) until tender (20 minutes).
  2. After soaking, rinse the lentils again and transfer to the chopper bowl. Grind until smooth without lumps. Stir the mass several times during the grinding process.
  3. Chop the onion and garlic into large pieces. Chop the herbs finely. When the lentil mass is almost homogeneous, add the onion and garlic, chop everything together again.
  4. Transfer the prepared mass to a suitable container, add boiled rice, herbs, season with spices and mix everything well.
  5. Form small round meatballs from rice and lentils (from the specified number of products, about 15 pieces will turn out). Dip the meatballs in the corn grits.
  6. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it and gently put the breadcrumbs in the hot oil. Fry the lentil-rice balls on both sides until golden brown.
  7. Put the finished lentil and rice meatballs on a dish covered with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  8. Put the lentil and rice meatballs on a serving plate, decorate the dish with herbs, add fresh vegetables. I add sour cream or vegetable sauce to the meatballs and serve them to the table. Bon appetit!
