Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup green lentils
7 ounces soft tofu, drained and cut into cubes
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup all-purpose flour
vegetable oil for frying
1 cup sunflower seed oil

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place lentils into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; soak for 2 hours.

I had some trouble getting the lentil bites to hold their shape. I think I might have added too much liquid.

These lentil bites were a hit with my family! They're crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. I especially loved the addition of the fried tofu, which gave them a nice texture and a boost of protein.
