Instructions

Rinse the red lentils well and then soak in water for 10-12 hours.
Drain the soak water.
Rinse lentils well.
Add lentils to a blender.
Add just enough water to just barely cover the lentils.
Add salt.
Blend until smooth.
Coat a nonstick or cast iron skillet or griddle with olive oil and heat on Medium (about 275°F [135°C] on an electric griddle).
Fill a 1/4 cup measuring cup just short of the rim with batter.
Pour batter onto hot skillet/griddle and flatten the batter using the back of a spoon/spatula (I use the bottom of the plastic measuring cup), making circular motions, to form a 5-6" tortilla.
Heat until the edges start curling up off the cooking surface (about 3 minutes).
Flip with a silicone flipper and cook the other side (about 3 minutes). (NOTE: if the flipper cannot slip easily under the tortilla, let the tortilla cook a little longer; if it still cannot slip easily under the tortilla, then the nonstick coating of the pan/griddle may be worn).
Remove to a cooling rack and start the next batch.

Nutritional Info

Storage

Freeze between pieces of parchment paper; warm frozen tortilla in a toaster oven (do not use a microwave).

Notes

Using a quality nonstick coating is essential to the success of this recipe. Attempting to make this recipe in a pan that is not nonstick will usually not work. If the nonstick coating is damaged or worn, this recipe will not work. I use a ceramic electric griddle or a cast iron griddle and both work well. Be sure to use the olive oil even in a nonstick pan.
