Step 1

Prepare lentils by discarding any hardened kernels. Next wash in cold water until the water is clear. Cover lentils with cold water and soak for a minimum of 30 minutes then strain & rinse. Place lentils in a pot, cover with freshwater and bring to the boil for 5 mins, then simmer for 10 minutes. Strain & set aside.

Step 2

In a medium to large pan, gently heat 10ml of oil, and sweat off the white onions, and garlic, then when tender, add all the herbs and spices and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Now add 500ml vegetable stock, salt and cooked lentils and simmer on a low heat for 25 minutes. Add the grated carrots, mix and take off the heat.

Step 4

Allow the mix too cool to room temperature and then fold in the flour. The mixture should be of a batter consistency and slowly fall off a spoon when tested. Slowly add in the water and mix, ensuring the mix does not become too wet.

Step 5

Place a heavy non-stick frying pan on medium heat, add 20 ml of oil and gently heat, then fry each fritter for 2-3 mins on each side. Once cooked tap each fritter and you should hear a hollow sound.

Step 6

Garnish with rocket, serve & enjoy
