Ingredients

For the crepes

  • 200 g red split lentils rinsed well
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 250 ml water
  • Optional - Handful fresh coriander

For the charred cabbage

  • 1 small head green cabbage
  • Dressing
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme

For the toppings

  • Hummus
  • Gomashio
  • Chilli oil

Instructions

To make the crepes

  • Add the rinsed lentils to a bowl and pour boiling water over to cover completely.
  • Soak for at least 3 hrs (or overnight), then rinse and drain well.
  • Add the lentils along with the other ingredients to a food processor and blitz to a creamy batter.
  • Pre-heat a non-stick frying pan to medium and add a little oil.
  • Add a ladle of the batter and swirl to create the crepe.
  • Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until the crepe bubbles and comes away easily at the corning.
  • Flip and cook on the other side for a minute.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.

To make the charred cabbage

  • Pre- heat your oven to 180c
  • Slice the cabbage in half (through the root so it holds together)
  • Continue cutting until you have 10 wedges.
  • Now mix the dressing ingredients in a jar.
  • On a pre- heated griddle pan, add the slices of cabbage a few at a time. Char on both sides, then add them to a high sided baking tray.
  • Pour the dressing over the top.
  • Roast for 35 minutes or until soft on the inside and charred on the outside.
