"If you don’t want to eat soy, swap it with tempeh made of lupines. As an alternative, soak red lentils in pure water for at least 3 hours or overnight. Drain the lentils and rinse them well. Then, mince the raw lentils to crumbs in a “meat“ grinder or blender. Process the “mince“ as described for the tempeh, but use a little more oil, and roast them not for 8 but for approx. 10 minutes."
