Instructions
vegan lentil pancakes
-
Add the soaked, rinsed lentils and all other ingredients in the blender and blend until it is smooth and resembles a medium thick pancake dough. If it is too thick just add a bit more water or yoghurt one Tbsp. at a time.
-
heat up a skillet, melt the oil until its hot. (To test if it is hot enough, just stick a wooden skewer in the oil if it forms bubbles around the wood it is hot!)
-
add about 1/4 C of the dough per pancake and fry until the top bubbles in the middle and the bottom gets crisp and medium brown. Then turn and let brown and crisp on the other side. When both sides are done, set the pancakes on a paper towel lined cooling rack. If you want to keep them warm, pre-heat the oven to 175F/80C and place the pancakes on a plate in the oven. Now melt more oil and continue until all dough is fried into pancakes.
assemble the nori/laver roll
-
place nori sheet on your plate and mindfully spread a thin layer of the herb yoghurt. Cut the vegan lentil pancake lengthwise and assemble with the vegetables including the lettuce. Doesn't it look like a beautiful painting? A Rothko perhaps?
-
now roll up the nori sheet. In case it breaks, just roll it in another layer of nori/laver
-
cut the roll and enjoy this fresh, healthy and delicious lentil pancake and veggie filled nori roll

Guten Appetit!
