Sarah – I won’t be turning on the oven today because here in RI, we are experiencing summer weather and we’re all heading to the shoreline. One winter day I am going to make a huge batch of these lovely lentil balls and freeze them for later use.
With regard to the word “meat.” The origin of this word was defined as eating or food and not animal flesh
necessarily. Today, however, meat is always associated with animal flesh due to corporations incessant display by advertising and normalization of any and all sentient beings as food for humans.
Thank you for the recipe and rock on.
I hope you enjoy the lentil balls justanthropology. They are delicious!
Hi, I have a very basic question. Is the 8 oz. of lentils one cup, or is it in weight?
