Croquettes Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Lentils
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine lentils with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.

Coat the Croquettes
Place the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Roll each croquette in flour, then dip into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Fry the Croquettes
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquettes in batches. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
