- 300 g red lentil flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters of water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 180 g breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons Oil for frying
To prepare the schnitzels, start by combining lentil flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt in a large bowl. Add water and olive oil to the mixture, stirring until well combined. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
After resting, divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and take one portion of the lentil mixture, shaping it into a schnitzel by gently pressing it into the breadcrumbs. Coat both sides evenly and repeat this process for the remaining portions.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the schnitzels and fry them for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge and your favorite garnish.
