LENTIL-STUFFED POTATO CAKES [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, SOY-FREE]
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKES:
- 10 medium gold potatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt
- 1 cup potato starch, plus more for dusting
FOR THE STUFFING:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4-ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 3⁄4 cup dried green lentils (preferably French lentils), cooked
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Coconut oil for panfrying
PREPARATION
- In a large pot, combine the potatoes, the bay leaf, some salt and 7 cups of water and boil until the potatoes are tender. Check them with a fork to make sure they are soft inside. When done, rinse the potatoes under cold water; the skins should peel off easily. Mash the potatoes until smooth, add the potato starch and stir to form a dough. If the dough feels too sticky to shape, add more potato starch.
- To prepare the stuffing, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally, add the lentils, and salt and pepper to taste and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- To form the cakes, take about 3 tablespoons of the dough in your hand and press it into your palm. Place a spoonful of stuffing over the dough, close it by folding it over and shape into a round disk. Heat a thin layer of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the potato cakes on both sides until they develop a golden brown crust, about 4 minutes per side.
