1/2 c. chopped celery
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
3 c. Seasoned Bread Crumbs
2 c. cooked lentils
1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

Simmer first 3 ingredients in a small amount of water until tender. Add remaining ingredients, reserving 1 c. of bread crumbs, and let stand for 5 minutes. Add water (or nut milk) to obtain good consistency for forming links. Form into 3 inch links and roll in reserved bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 15 minutes. Makes about 30.

VARIATIONS:

(1) Add smoked yeast, to taste; (2) Add sesame seeds to reserved bread crumbs; (3) Form into patties instead of links; (4) Substitute packaged stuffing mix for the Seasoned Bread Crumbs.

Simmer 1 cup dry lentils in 2 cups salted water for about 1 hour, or until tender.
