Did you know you can turn red lentils and quinoa into soft, flexible wraps with just two ingredients? I always have quinoa and red lentils in my cupboard, and when I don’t know what to do with them, I make these lentil and quinoa wraps! They’re super simple to make and they are great in both sweet and savory dishes. They’re packed with protein, fiber, bold flavors and they are naturally gluten free. They’re great if you want to eat more grains and legumes!
Lentil And Quinoa Wraps – What You Will Need
Red Split Lentils: A great cheap and good source of protein and fibre.
Quinoa (I used a mixed one): a quality whole grain also rich in protein and fibre, containing all essential amino acids and naturally gluten free.
Oil for cooking
A good non stick pan (essential I’m afraid!)
Lentil And Quinoa Wraps – Step By Step Instructions
Start by adding quinoa and red lentils to a bowl. Pour in water, give it a good mix to rinse, then drain. Repeat this process until the water runs clear. Once clean, cover with fresh water and let the mixture soak for at least four hours or overnight.
After soaking, drain the water and transfer the quinoa and lentils to a blender. Add fresh water and blend until smooth. The texture may still be slightly grainy, but as long as there are no big lumps, it’s ready to use.
Heat a good non-stick pan over medium heat and brush it with a little oil. Pour in ¼ cup of batter at a time, spreading it thinly. Cook for a few minutes until the top looks dry, then flip and cook for another couple of minutes.
The first wrap might stick, but that’s normal. If they start to stick later on, simply brush more oil onto the pan between each wrap. Keep going until all the batter is used, and enjoy your homemade lentil and quinoa wraps!
