Delicious smoky Puy lentils on a bed of vibrant beetroot hummus and protein packed quinoa flatbreads. Super healthy and packed with flavour.
Lovely smoky Puy lentils on a bed of delicious beetroot hummus–made from some of my favourite store cupboard stables (lentils, pre-cooked beetroot, tahini, nuts)…so good.
But you might also want to try these interesting quinoa flatbreads! Especially if you’re low on bread or flour. They’re made with cooked quinoa, chica, a little rice flour and blitzed and then griddled. I love the nutty texture and, of course, they are packed with healthy plant protein. Give them a go guys!
Tips
Use you to keep any leftover flatbread mix in the fridge for a few days. The flatbreads can be wrapped and kept for a few days when cooked.
Serve the lentils on their own or with any creamy dip or hummus.
You can also use tinned lentils for this for a speedier version.

For the beetroot hummus

- 1-2 tbs tahini
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Handful of toasted walnuts or hazelnuts
- 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
- Sea salt & pepper
Instructions
To make the lentils
Add your oil and onion to a wide bottom pan and fry gently on a low heat for around 10 minutes until soft and browning. Add the garlic and spices and fry for 30 seconds more.
Next, add the lentils and stock, stir to combine. Bring to the boil then cook on a low heat for 35- 40 minutes.
Season with black pepper, salt and lemon juice–simmer for a further minute.
Turn off the heat and stir the toasted seeds & olive oil.
To make the quinoa flatbreads
Cook the quinoa on a medium heat with the water in a small pan until the water has absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy, make sure there’s no liquid left.
Add all the ingredients to the pan with the cooked quinoa and mix to combine. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
Now add to a food processor and blitz until you everything is combined to a sticky ball.
Flour a chopping board well and scoop out 1/4 cups of the mix–roll into a ball, then shape into a small round flatbread on the chopping board. Be careful, it’s quite fragile, so you need quite a lot of flour to shape.
Scope up with a spatula and add one flatbread at a time to a heated griddle pan or frying pan and cook on each side up a little charred and cooked through. They should be quite springy.
Repeat.
Keep the flatbreads warm in a bowl under a clean cloth. Makes approx 8-10.
To make the hummus
If using pre cooked beetroot, drain the beetroots and then tip them into your food processor.
Add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin seeds, nuts and olive oil.
Blitz until smooth (approx 1 minute)
Season to taste
To serve
Serve the lentils on the beetroot hummus, scoop up with the flatbreads.
