Make your own quick and tasty carrot hot dog with pureed veggies and lentils to give them a delicious taste and fine ‘veggie dog’-like texture. They’re fast, easy, and full of goodness. Vegan and easily gluten-free.

Ingredients
-
1 cups (200g) dried red or green lentils rinsed
-
3 cups (700ml) vegetable stock
-
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 carrots (125g) grated
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper
-
1.25 cups (150g) plain (all purpose) flour
Directions
Cook the lentils in the stock for 10 minutes or until tender, then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the onion and sautee for a few minutes until translucent but not browned. Add the grated carrot and sauté for 3-5 minutes until soft.
Add the cooked lentils, carrot mixture, spices, salt, and pepper to a food processor and whiz until it’s thick and well combined.
Tip the mixture into a bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons of the flour. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until a thick and manageable consistency. You may not need all of the flour.
Roll into hot dog-like shapes, place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a frying pan over medium/low heat and add some of the hot dogs. Fry, gently turning often, until golden.
Repeat in batches.
Serve in a hot dog bun (I topped with mustard, ketchup & pickles)
