METHOD

  1. Remember to soak and cook your dried pulses as per the cooking instructions before beginning this recipe. 
  2. Put the walnuts and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Add half the chickpeas and lentils.
  3. Put the remaining chickpeas and lentils in the food processor along with the rest of the ingredients. Process to a fairly smooth paste. Add to the mixing bowl.
  4. Combine everything well. Refrigerate the mixture until thoroughly chilled (this will take around 2 hours).
  5. Shape the mixture into approximately 12 evenly sized sausages.
  6. Place a large frying pan over moderate heat. Add a little olive oil. Fry the sausages on all sides until a deep golden brown.
