Red Lentil Wraps
Description
The recipe begins by soaking red lentils in water for at least three hours, then blending them with the soaking water and salt into a smooth batter. A high-speed blender or food processor ensures the mixture is free of lumps. Using a non-stick pan heated to medium-high, the batter is ladled and spread thinly in a circular motion.
Each wrap cooks for several minutes on one side until it can be easily flipped. The second side cooks similarly, resulting in a wrap with a slightly firm and elastic texture that holds together well. Stacking finished wraps together with a kitchen towel traps steam to keep them soft and flexible for wrapping.
These wraps can serve as a gluten-free alternative to flour tortillas or crepes and can accommodate sweet or savory fillings. Their straightforward preparation highlights lentil flavor and natural stretch from the steaming and stacking process.
Proper non-stick cookware is essential to prevent sticking, and controlling heat prevents over-browning. Cooling them in a stack with a towel improves pliability for handling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils whole or split
- 2 cups water
- salt a pinch
Instructions
- Add the red lentils and water to a blender jug and leave them soaking for at least three hours.
- Add a pinch of salt and blend the lentils with the water remaining after soaking them. You don't need to rinse them, add more water or take water out.
- Blend the lentils until you have a smooth batter. For this part, you will need to use a high-speed blender, food processor, or immersion blender.
- Using a ladle or cup, pour some lentil batter into a hot non-stick pan.
- Spread the batter into the pan using the back of the spoon or cup and move it in a circular motion until the batter is evenly spread.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes (medium-high heat) or until the wrap can be easily flipped. Flip the wrap and cook for another 4-5 minutes. If the wraps are getting too brown, bring the temperature to medium heat.
- 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.
Notes
- A quality non-stick pan is necessary to cook the wraps without sticking.
- Stack cooked wraps covered with a kitchen towel to harness steam, making them pliable and stretchy.
