Vegan Kjottbullar
- 100 g dried lentils
- 160g mushrooms
- 60g oatmeal
- 2 onions
- 2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sweet paprika powder
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
- salt and pepper

(1) Boil the lentils in lightly salted water for about 20 minutes until soft. Then drain and let cool.

(2) Finely dice the onions and mushrooms and sauté in a pan with hot oil.

(3) Put cooked lentils, mushroom and onion mixture, oatmeal, tomato paste, parsley, garlic powder, paprika powder, salt, pepper in a blender and puree so that there are still large pieces left in the mass. Then refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes.

(4) Form small balls from the dough with wet hands and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush the balls with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, turn the balls once.

Note: Oyster mushrooms can also be used instead of button mushrooms. The dough can also be prepared the day before and kept in the fridge overnight. Mashed potatoes or pasta and an oat milk-based cream sauce go particularly well with it. In Sweden, wild cranberries are traditionally eaten with Kjottbullar.

Flatbread
- 250 g wheat flour 550
- 175 ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry yeast or ¼ cube fresh yeast
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- optionally sesame, black sesame, black cumin or other spices, herbs and seeds as topping

(1) Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. If you use fresh yeast, dissolve it in the water.
(2) Add water and about a tablespoon of olive oil to the remaining ingredients and knead to form a smooth dough.
(3) Let the dough rise at room temperature for about an hour until it has increased significantly. (4) Place the risen dough on a floured work surface and shape into a loaf with floured hands.
(5) Place the flatbread on a baking tray lined with baking paper and use a knife to carve the typical flatbread pattern into the dough.
(6) Brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds, cumin and/or other toppings.
(7) Cover the flatbread blank again (e.g. with a second tray) and let it rise for about an hour.
(8) Preheat the oven to 230°C (top/bottom heat) and bake the flatbread for 12 to 14 minutes until the surface is lightly browned.

Notes:

When quartered, the flatbread can be cut across and filled to your heart's content.

Flatbread filled before baking tastes just as delicious, and you can also easily prepare it yourself.
