The lentil crepes are versatile crepes that can also be used as flatbreads, without further gratin or cooking. They can be enjoyed with a raw filling or served hot, perhaps after being gratined, making them suitable as a first course or a super tasty lunch or dinner. They are easy to prepare with just three ingredients: red split lentils, water, and salt. They are soft crepes, so you can shape them as you like. If you like different crepes, try the chickpea crepes.

Steps for preparing lentil crepes
First, soak the split lentils in cold water for two hours. After soaking, drain and rinse them under running water, and gather them in a tall container.
Add water, a pinch of salt, and blend with the immersion blender until creamy. Brush a pan with extra virgin olive oil. Pour amounts of batter into the pan and swirl to spread the mixture. Cook the crepes on low heat for a few minutes on each side. Continue until the batter is finished, stirring it each time before pouring the new amount.
You can fill the crepes with raw ingredients (like mayonnaise, salad, and deli meats) or with a filling suitable for baking the dish afterward.
Storage
You can store the crepes in the fridge covered with plastic wrap.
