Garlic and coriander added. Whole family ate happily.

I freeze batches and reheat. Brilliant.

My daughter is vegan and my grandchildren are extremely picky eaters. I made these without telling anyone what was in them. Everyone ate them and asked for more. That is the real test in this household and these cutlets passed it without question.

My husband loves these cold in his packed lunch.

In my keepsake recipe book. Made them four times this month.

Soft but edible. Will press zucchini more.

My husband declared these restaurant quality. I am seventy-three and never cooked lentils this way before. My nutritionist prescribed low-carb and I thought eating would become joyless. It did not.

Sabrosas. Mi madre no las distingue de las de carne.
