Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil on medium to high heat and sauté onions until soft. Add carrots and mushrooms and cook until soft. Add whole lentils and fold with a spoon to evenly mix.
  2. When heated through and lightly sizzling, add paprika and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
  3. In a very large mixing bowl add potatoes, split lentils, onion mixture, and one egg and mix until well combined.
  4. Form mixture into 20 croquettes (round or cylindrical). Dredge each ball in flour, then beaten egg, then panko.
  5. Fry croquettes in a fryer set at 375⁰F (190⁰C) until golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately.

Chef tips: if you are looking for a nice dipping sauce, a simple sour cream with fresh chives would be a great addition to these croquettes.
