Lentil Carrot Veggie Hot Dogs Recipe

Step 1

Cook the lentils in the stock for 10 minutes or until tender, then drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the onion and sautee for a few minutes until translucent but not browned. Add the grated carrot and sautee for 3-5 minutes until soft.

Step 3

Add the cooked lentils, carrot mixture, spices, salt and pepper to a food processor and whiz until it’s thick and well combined.

Step 4

Tip the mixture into a bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons of the flour. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until a thick and manageable consistency. You may not need all of the flour.

Step 5

Roll into hot dog-like shapes, place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium/low heat and add some of the hot dogs. Fry, gently turning often, until golden. Repeat in batches.

Step 7
