- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) water
- ½ cup (30g) fresh spinach
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Soak the Lentils: Soak the red lentils in water for 2-3 hours. After soaking, drain the lentils well.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the soaked lentils, fresh water, spinach, salt, pepper, and cumin. Blend until smooth to create a batter.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil to coat the surface.
- Cook the Flatbread: Pour a ladle of lentil batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the flatbread warm with dips, sliced avocado, or as a wrap with your favorite fillings.
Notes
- Add Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil can be added to the batter for extra flavor.
- Spicy Twist: Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper to give the flatbread a spicy kick.
- Other Greens: Swap spinach for kale, arugula, or other leafy greens.
- Storage: Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze cooked flatbreads with parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking.
