200 grams red lentils, rinsed and soaked
02 -
50 grams rolled oats
03 -
30 grams fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped
04 -
2 grams ground cumin
05 -
2 grams garlic powder
06 -

1 gram black pepper

120 milliliters water
10 -
15 milliliters olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse red lentils thoroughly under cold running water to remove debris and impurities. Place rinsed lentils in a bowl, cover with fresh water, and soak for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain using a fine-mesh strainer and set aside.
02 -
Add soaked red lentils, rolled oats, chopped spinach, ground cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until the mixture begins to form a mass. Gradually incorporate water, blending until a slightly sticky dough forms. Adjust consistency as needed with additional water or oats.
03 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the surface evenly. Allow the skillet to reach an even temperature before cooking.
04 -
Divide dough into four equal portions for uniform wraps. Shape each portion into a ball and flatten gently. Place onto parchment or a lightly floured surface and use your hands or a rolling pin to form thin, round flatbreads approximately 16-18 centimeters in diameter.
05 -
Place one shaped wrap into the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown spots appear and the edges are set. Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. The wrap should be slightly crisp outside and soft inside. Keep cooked wraps covered with a towel to retain moisture. Repeat for remaining dough portions.
06 -
Serve wraps warm with your preferred dips or use as a base for sandwiches with fresh vegetables and spreads. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
# Notes:
01 -
Soaking lentils results in a smoother dough and enhances digestibility.
02 -
Shape wraps as evenly as possible to ensure even cooking and pliability.
