Ingredients
(2 servings)

- ¼ medium onion, chopped
- 80g mushrooms (or substitute with your favorite veggie)

Method

- Place the lentils into a blender/food processor. Blend until the lentil become flour.
- Combine all the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir until combined. Then add the water (150ml) and the cooked veggies. Stir again until well-combined.
- If you have extra 5-10 minutes, let the batter sit. This step will allow obtaining a better consistency. If you don’t have these extra 5-10 minutes, no worries! You can skip step 4.
- Heat some olive oil in another skillet and pour in about half of the batter. Spread it evenly using a spoon. It should take approximately 4 minutes per side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and enjoy!
Benefits
LENTILS
Lentils are a complete food. Indeed, they are both a good source of veg proteins and a good source of carbohydrates. They have a low glycemic index which makes them ideal for keeping the blood sugar down while maximizing energy levels. This type of legume is rich in fiber which is good for the microbiome (gut health) and rich in minerals, including calcium, iron, and phosphorus.
MUSHROOMS
Mushrooms have blood-thinning properties and help increase the menstrual flux in the case of a light or irregular period. Mushrooms are also rich in fiber and act as “irritants” to the intestine helping maintain regular bowel movements.
PARSLEY
This plant is rich in vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting and bone health, vitamin C, and other powerful antioxidants. The school of Chinese Medicine says that parsley enhances the nutritional properties of foods.
