Recipe: Vegan Lentil Flatbread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup red lentil flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
Preparing the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the red lentil flour, water, olive oil, salt, ground cumin (if using), and garlic powder (if using). Mix until you have a smooth, pourable batter. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquids.
Cooking the Flatbread:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
- Pour a ladleful of the lentil batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it out into a thin, even circle using the back of the ladle or a spatula. The size and thickness of the flatbread are up to your preference.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to lift.
- Flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until it’s lightly golden and cooked through.
- Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.
Serving:
- Once cooked, transfer the flatbreads to a plate and let them cool slightly. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
