Chef John Recipe ∽ Lentil Flatbread

This 3-ingredient, extremely simple recipe is easier than you may think and may just become your new favorite healthy flatbread.

Ingredients

• 1 cup red lentils
• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Add lentils and water to a blender, or food processor and soak for at least 3 hours.
2. Blend lentils until they are very smooth. Season with salt. (Batter can be used immediately, but for best results refrigerate overnight).
3. To cook, heat a non-stick pan on medium-high. Grease lightly with olive oil and allow to get hot. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter to the hot pan. Use the bottom of a ladle or spoon to spread out into a 5 or 6 inch circle. Lower heat to medium, and adjust from there if needed. Cook the first side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, before flipping over. Cook the second side for about 2 minutes, before transferring to a plate.
4. Keep warm flatbreads covered with a towel while cooking and stacking.
