Servings 8 wraps

Equipment

  • 1 High powered blender
  • 1 non stick or cast iron saute pan

Ingredients

  

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 2 cups fresh water for soaking
  • 1 cup fresh water for blending
  • 1 clove fresh garlic clove
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder or a curry blend
  • freshly cracked pepper
  • Spray oil for cooking

Instructions

 

  • Soak your cup of red lentils in 2 cups of water for 3 hours or so.
  • Drain the lentils in a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold water.
  • Add your lentils to your blender.
  • Add 1 cup of fresh water to the blender along with the spices.
  • Blend until creamy, batter will resemble the texture of pancake batter.
  • Preheat your sauté pan over low/medium heat with a spritz of oil for cooking.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup or so of the batter into the prepared, well heated pan and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Much like pancake batter, you'll see bubbles appear once the wrap is ready to be flipped.
  • Remove and allow to cool on a rack. Serve immediately or allow to cool. Once cooled, store in an airtight container for 4 days or freeze.

*Any high powered blender would work. This is the blender we use daily and is worth every penny if you’re looking for an investment. A hand immersion blender would also work nicely. *This post includes affiliate links.

  1. This sounds amaaaaaazing!
    Question, though: should the red lentils be split or whole? I think your picture shows split, right? (I assume there’d be a sizable difference in soaking time between the two…)
    Thank you!
