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.
