Starting each morning by taking a moment to enjoy the lentil things in life 😉 This is a recipe I shared a while back which makes the ultimate breakfast dish, packed with plenty of plantbased protein and fibre! Have you tried it yet?

METHOD

  • Mix all ingredients from part1 in a large bowl and keep in a warm place overnight (should form a liquid paste like semolina or cream of wheat)
  • Mix in all ingredients from part 2, followed by eno
  • Grind all vegetables from part 3 in a food processor (excluding the peas) and add to mixture
  • Pour the mixture in a baking tray
  • Add 2 tablespoons off oil to a saucepan and once heated, add the cumin and mustard seeds. Once they start to pop add the remaining ingredients in part 5 and toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant
  • Pour the tempering on top of the mixture in the tray, evenly spread
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake at 180 c for 45-50 minutes until golden Brown on the top
