  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5 wraps

Ingredients

Lentil Wraps

  • ¾ cup (150 g) dry red lentils
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) vegetable broth (or water + ½ tsp salt)

Instructions

  1. Rinse Lentils: Rinse the red lentils thoroughly in a sieve under running water to remove any impurities and dust.
  2. Soak Lentils: Transfer the rinsed lentils to a blender along with the vegetable broth (or water and salt). Let the mixture soak for 3-4 hours to soften the lentils, ensuring a smooth batter later.
  3. Blend Batter: Blend the soaked lentils and liquid for about 2 minutes until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Heat Pan: Warm a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Wraps: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour enough batter into the pan to form a thin layer, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to lift away from the pan.
  6. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the wrap and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden.
  7. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked wraps to a plate and cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
  8. Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed. If the batter thickens, pulse in the blender briefly or add a bit more liquid to reach a smooth, pancake-like consistency.
  9. Serve: Enjoy the lentil wraps with your favorite sweet or savory fillings and toppings.

Notes

  • Soaking the lentils is essential for a smooth batter and tender wraps.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more broth or water as needed between cooking each wrap.
  • Use a non-stick pan and a little oil for best cooking results and to prevent sticking.
  • Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be customized with various fillings such as hummus, roasted vegetables, or sweet spreads.
