LENTIL RISSOLES

Ingredients:

• 1 cup lentils
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 1 bowl breadcrumbs
• 1 bowl tinned tomatoes 
• 3 tbsp.  butter
• 2 eggs
• pepper and salt to taste
• some raspings
• Butter or oil for frying 

Method:

1. Wash the lentils, and boil them in enough water to cover them.
2. When water is absorbed add the tomatoes, and if necessary gradually a little more water to prevent the lentils from burning.
3. Fry the onion in 3 tbsp. of butter, mix it with the lentils as they are stewing, and add pepper and salt to taste. 
4. When the lentils are quite soft, and like a pureé (it may take around 1 hour or bit more), set them aside to cool. 
5. Mix the lentils and the breadcrumbs, beat up one of the eggs and add it to the mixture, beating all well together. If it is too dry, add a very little milk, but only just enough to make the mixture keep together. 
6. Form into rissoles, beat up the second egg, roll them into the egg and raspings, and fry the rissoles a nice brown in boiling butter or oil. Drain and serve.
