Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of red lentils under cold water until it runs clear, then soak in 2 cups of water for at least 1 hour.
  2. Prepare 2 cups of fresh spinach by washing thoroughly. If using frozen, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Blend soaked lentils and spinach with 1 cup of water until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Let the blended batter rest for about 10-15 minutes for better texture.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to coat the bottom.
  6. Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan, spreading into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges look dry, then flip to cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Continue cooking until golden, then repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
  9. Serve warm with dips or use as wraps.
