Since wheat has been very much off the table for me for a while now, I've been searching high and low for a good flour to use to make flatbreads for wraps and sandwiches. Much as I love gram flour (chickpea) flatbreads , which are delicious with curries, they don't have the right consistency and structural integrity required to make a sandwich wrap.  I wanted to find something that was closer to the wheat texture and taste that I've been missing but without the uncomfortable effect on my tummy.

This is an interesting recipe that I tried for the first time recently. Some people call this one a tortilla, but I personally found that the texture is more like a crepe than a true tortilla, and the slightly nutty flavour goes just as nicely with sweet fillings like vegan chocolate spread as it does savoury. It definitely rolls and folds nicely if you want to make a wrap, so that's a huge bonus. It's also tasty, high in protein and low in fat, gluten free and super cheap to make, so well worth a go in my opinion. The process to make them can seem rather lengthy, and it seems like a lot of effort for a few flatbreads, but this is a useful recipe to have to hand if you've run out of other ingredients and need an alternative to having to spend money at the end of the month! You will need quite a powerful blender for this one, so have your Vitamix at the ready! Ingredients 200g (1 cup) Red Lentils (split peas) 500ml (2 cups) Cold water 1tsp Salt Method R
