Learn how to cook "Lentil candies with hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds and dried apricots". Delicious recipe.

Required products :

150 grams of boiled red lentils
handful of raisins (seedless)
30 grams of hazelnuts
30 grams of pumpkin seeds
4 tablespoons powdered milk
2 drops of almond essence
pinch of Himalayan salt
2 teaspoons honey
70 grams of dried apricots
grated white chocolate to roll the finished candy

Method of preparation :

Soak raisins and dried apricots in warm water. When soft, remove on a napkin to dry.

Boil the lentils for a quarter of an hour in salted water, and the grain-liquid ratio is 1: 2, ie 1 cup of lentils is boiled in 2 cups of water. Allow to cool.

Roast the hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds separately in a dry pan. Then grind them with a blender or chop finely with a knife.

Cut the apricots into quarters, add 1 tablespoon of raisins and pour the fruit over the lentils. Add the hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds and milk powder. Put two drops of almond essence, 2 teaspoons of honey or more if you like sweeter (you can replace honey with syrup), and puree.

If the resulting mixture is not thick enough, add more milk powder (2-4 tablespoons). Put it in the fridge.

When the "dough" has cooled, make small round candies from it and roll them in grated white chocolate. An option is to replace it with powdered milk.

Store the candies in the refrigerator so they will become thicker. Serve them as a complement to a cup of aromatic hot coffee.

Enjoy your meal!
