Ingredients

2 cups (500 mL) cooked split red lentils, room temperature

1/2 cup (125 mL) almond meal (ground almonds)

1/2 cup (125 mL) minced red onion

2 Tbsp (30 mL) finely chopped fresh coriander leaves

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp (5 mL) cardamom

1 tsp (5 mL) cumin

1 tsp (5 mL) salt

1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper

1 egg

CHUTNEY:

1 cup (250 mL) fresh coriander (leaves and stems)

1/4 cup (60 mL) almond meal (ground almonds)

2 Tbsp (30 mL) lime juice

2 Tbsp (30 mL) water

1 garlic clove

1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

to taste, pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (215°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To prepare the bites, combine lentils, almond meal, onion, coriander, garlic, cardamom, cumin, salt, pepper, and egg in a large bowl. With the help of a small ice cream scoop, roll out 24 meatball-sized (1 1/ 2 Tbsp/20 mL) bites. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden and firm.
While the bites are baking, prepare the chutney. Combine all ingredients in a blender or with an immersion blender. Blend to a pesto consistency. Pour in a small serving bowl.
Serve the lentil bites hot, skewered on cocktail picks or appetizer forks, alongside the coriander chutney.

Quick Tip: The texture of these bites is similar to falafels. Serve as a sandwich in pita bread, or as a garnish to salad.
