Hi friends!✌🏼 A few days ago I felt like eating something I love and I would like to share the recipe with you and show you how I prepare it. Today I will show you my way of making lentil and ground beef croquettes🍽️👩🏻🍳
To start, the ingredients I will use are: mustard, oregano, oil, garlic (I will use pickled garlic that I have for a long time because I really like cooking with it, I feel it gives an exquisite touch to the food.), pepper, salt and of course lentils and some ground beef. I will use these ingredients because I personally like the seasoning that mustard gives to meats, I always use mustard when I cook meat.
First in a pot we will cook the lentils in enough water with a little salt. I recommend cooking the lentils without covering the pot because then the dread will cause the water level to rise and that could cause a cooking disaster. We also make sure that our lentils do not have excess water
Once ready, we remove the water from the lentils and crush them with a fork so that they release all the water. I use the colander to drain my lentils, it makes it easier and faster. It also saves me time when it comes to crushing them.
Separately in a bowl we will put our ground beef with a little bit of oil, oregano, salt, pepper, mustard and the previously cut garlic. Mix everything together. As I mentioned before, I really like to use mustard to season meats. I think mustard adds a nice flavor to cooked meat
Then add the lentils together with the seasoned meat and mix again until everything is incorporated. Ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated
Then we will cook them on a griddle with a little bit of oil over low heat. You can give them the shape you want, I wanted to do it as if it were meat for burgers
In the meantime we drink a coffee ☕️ and wait for them to finish cooking to turn them over and cook on the other side
These last ones I wanted to make them special so I added some cheese on top for gratin😁
And here we have everything finished. I hope you liked this different way of preparing meat and that you can make it at home. Let me know in the comments if you liked it and if you are going to prepare it🤗
