One ingredient Lentil flatbreads! Yes you read that right- flatbreads made with just lentils and do you know what? They are really tasty! If you are looking to reduce your refined carbs and up your intake of pulses, these will be perfect for you.

Lentils are a firm cupboard staple in Eating Ideas Towers. They are cheap, low fat and an excellent source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Best of all, they count towards your five a day!

I have been experimenting with these flatbreads and they are really tasty. They are super easy to make but you do need to prepare the lentils in advance. I say prepare but all you have to do is soak them in water. I used 150g lentils and 300mls water (this is enough for 2-3 flatbreads, depending on the size and thickness you make them).

You need to leave them for at least 12 hours. I generally soak them overnight. Then all you have to do is blend the lentils with the water they were soaking in. Don’t drain any of the liquid away.

Heat up a non-stick pan (you can add a little oil if you want). The mixture will be quite thick, so spoon it in and use the back of the spoon to spread it across the pan.

Cook for a few minutes until the underneath is golden then flip it over and cook the other side.

Serve with whatever toppings you have to hand. I used cream cheese, baby cucumbers, spring onions, radishes, pomegranate seeds, sea salt and ground black pepper.

If you give these a go, make sure to let me know how you get on!
