Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 190C and line a tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Place the lentils, walnuts, mushrooms, tomato, parsley, salt, and pepper in a food processor with a slicing blade and pulse until broken into smaller pieces but not yet a paste and then fold in the breadcrumbs until combined.

Step 3

Using your hands, roll the mixture into 20 balls (about 2 tablespoon each) and place on the tray and bake for 10 minutes and then cool on a wire rack for 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a pot, add the rice to 635 ml water and bring to the boil over medium heat and cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, until tender and then stir in the juice, parsley, zest and salt until combined and then taste and season more if needed.

Step 5

Combine the lettuce, tomatoes and onions in a bowl, then divide between dishes and add the rice balls, and serve with the lemon wedges.
