Additional Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g of red lentils
  • 400 g of water
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • neutral oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Wash and then cover the lentils with water. Leave them soaking for at least three hours or overnight.
  2. Blend with a pinch of salt and a garlic clove until smooth. At this point, you can leave the dough in the fridge for later and add more water if it gets too thick.
  3. Using a ladle, pour some lentil batter into a hot non-stick pan and spread the batter using the back of the ladle in a circular motion.
  4. Cook on medium-high heat in a non-stick pan or until the wrap can be easily flipped. Flip the wrap and add some oil to get a crispy crust.
  5. Place the wraps on a plate and repeat until all the batter is gone. You can stack the wraps as the steam will help them get pliable and stretchy. You can also reheat them in the pan to enjoy when you’re ready.

Notes

  • Eat soon after cooking, lentil wraps tend to loose their crispyness.
  • Prepare the batter and keep in the fridge for several days. Pop them in the pan and enjoy a fresh and crispy tortilla anytime.
