Misir Wat Nuggets with Sunflower Seed Dipping Sauce

This is by far the best nugget recipe I have had yet.  The lentils mixed with the farro make the texture chewy and sticky, so they don’t crumble when bit into.  They are fantastic, especially with the dipping sauce.  I would say this leftover recipe is better than my original Misir Wat.  Don’t take my word for it, though.  Y’all tell me what you think!
