Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (150 g) dry red lentils
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) vegetable broth (or water + 1/2 tsp salt)

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    Rinse the lentils in a sieve under running water.
  • Transfer them to the blender with the broth (or water and salt), and leave to soak for 3-4 hours.
  • Blend the mixture for 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan/ skillet. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in enough batter to make a thin layer across the bottom of your pan, spreading it with the back of a spoon as needed.
    Note that the batter will thicken as it sits, so I recommend pulsing it for a few seconds between cooking each wrap. You may need more water/broth to bring it back to a pancake batter consistency.
  • Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flip it over when the edges start pulling away from the pan, and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. Then transfer them to a plate, covered with a damp kitchen towel.
  • Repeat this with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
  • Enjoy the red lentil wraps with the fillings or toppings of your choice!

Notes

  • Broth: If you plan on making sweet wraps, use water and a pinch of salt instead of vegetable broth.
  • Spices: For savory wraps, feel free to add a little onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or spices of choice.
  • Lentils: You can use brown lentils, but you will only need 1/2 cup (100 g) and need to soak them for at least 10 hours.
  • The total time doesn't include soaking time.
  • The recipe makes 10 small/medium wraps or 5 large wraps.
