False fish has no more to do with fish than Mock Goose
with goose, but it is a wondefully inventive dish that
resembles fried fish steaks.

Method: Boil the rice until cooked - about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the lentils, garlic and onion together
in as little water as possible. As soon as the rice
and lentils are just cooked, drain them, then stir
them together adding the herbs and salt. Press the
mixture into a 2 pint (1.2 litre) pudding basin. Fit a
Saucer into the basin on top of the mixture, weight it
down - a couple of tins will do nicely - and leave it
overnight. The following day, remove the mixture and
cut into slices. Coat the slices with egg, then
breadcrumbs and fry until golden. Serve with fresh
vegetables and parsley sauce.
