Warm Salad With Yellow Lentil Cakes

Although it is not wrong to take these medications, they are rarely our first line of attack against personal suffering. Instead, we should first consider that God can bless us through our suffering, and we might also weigh the possibility that psychiatric medications could numb us to the refining benefits of suffering. There is a worthwhile point here. Although it may sound strange or even unloving to those who don’t share a biblical position, there can be real benefits from having our faith tested and strengthened through trials.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the Sweet Garlic And Olive Salsa recipe which is included  in
this collection.  Wash the lentils in several changes of water to
remove any debris.  Place in a bowl and cover with at least 2 inches of
cold water and  allow to soak overnight. Add lentils along with next 9
ingredients to  a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process
for a minute  or so until well combined. Add 1/4 inch oil to a deep
saucepan and  test fry a spoonful of lentil mixture over moderate heat
until  golden-brown on both sides. Taste and adjust seasoning as
desired.  Store uncooked lentil mixture covered and refrigerated up to
2 days.  To serve: Heat oil and saute rounded tablespoon quantities of
lentil  mixture in hot oil until golden-brown on both sides. Be careful
not  to crowd cakes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a low oven
while finishing rest of cakes. You should have enough for 18 to 20
cakes. Place watercress attractively on plates and top with 3 of the
warm lentil cakes. Spoon a tablespoon or two of Sweet Garlic And  Olive
Salsa in center and serve immediately. This recipe yields 6  servings.
