Ingredients
- 200 g canned black beans* dry weight
- 200 g firm tofu
- 50 g coral lentils dry weight
- 3 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Optional
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Start by cooking the lentils according to the instructions on the packaging. Stop cooking a little before the indicated time, so that they are "al dente" (ten minutes were sufficient in my case). Rinse them under cold water when they are done.
- While the lentils are cooking, crumble the tofu over a bowl with your hands.
- Drain the black beans. Add them to the tofu.
- Now, add the lentils to the mixture.
- Use a whisk to mix and crush the ingredients. Continue until you get a grainy, chopped-like mix.
- Finally add the spices and whisk again.
- In a frying pan, coated with olive oil, fry the mixture over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. The mix should become drier and firmer.

*You can also substitute the black beans with the same mount of kidney beans.
