How to Store

Can You Freeze It?
The dumplings can be frozen raw or baked for up to 90 days in a proper freezer plastic bag. If frozen raw, bake directly in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes without the need to thaw.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to cook lentils without letting them fall apart too much?
Cook over medium heat monitoring after 15 to 20 minutes; the grains should be tender to the bite without the husk splitting excessively.
Why did my lentil patties crack in the skillet?
This happens if the dough is too dry or the lentil is too whole; knead the grains more and add a drizzle of water or olive oil to give elasticity.
Can I make these dumplings in the air fryer?
Yes, spray olive oil over the dumplings and place in the basket at 180°C for about 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through to brown evenly.
Do I need to soak the lentils before cooking?
Soaking for 4 to 6 hours reduces cooking time and improves the digestibility of the grains, eliminating antinutrients from the skin.
