Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 6):

• 200g dried red lentils, rinsed and drained
• 450ml water
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika powder
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed & roasted
• 150g fresh spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 250g sliced chestnut mushrooms
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp tamari soya sauce
• 3 tbsp vegan cream cheese
• 60g crumbled vegan feta-style cheese

To serve (optional):

A drizzle of hot sauce
Sesame seeds

Method:

1.  In a blender or food processor, combine the lentils, water, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the lentil batter and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. In the meantime, prepare your fillings and roast your cubed sweet potatoes. Add a little olive oil and fresh spinach to a pan over low heat and let it wilt, then add garlic. Remove from the heat once fragrant and season with salt and pepper.
4.  Add sliced mushrooms to a dry pan over medium heat. Stir until they release water. Once the pan is dry again, add 1 tbsp olive oil and thyme, then pan fry until the mushrooms are lightly golden brown. Drizzle with tamari and remove from the heat when it has cooked off.
5. To assemble your breakfast lentil wraps, spread ½ tbsp vegan cream cheese onto each wrap, then top with garlicky spinach, mushrooms and vegan feta.
6. To finalise, drizzle each wrap with a little hot sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional), then you’re ready to dig in for breakfast!
