Here’s one for the vegetarians amongst you lot.

Serves 4

1 onion, chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
250g / 8 oz red lentils
600 ml / 1 pint water
1 tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp chopped parsley
175g / 6 oz breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the onions, celery and carrots until soft.
Add the lentils, water, coriander and some salt and pepper to taste and bring to the boil.
Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the parsley and one third of the breadcrumbs.
Allow the mixture to cool.
Shape the mixture into rissoles using floured hands.
Coat the rissoles in flour, dip into the egg and then cover in the remaining breadcrumbs.
Heat about 5mm / ¼ inch of oil in a large frying pan and fry the rissoles on both sides until crisp and golden brown.
