Lentil Arayes

1 cup cooked lentils (well drained)
1 small red onion
Handful of cilantro
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp tomato paste or chutney
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp smoked paprika or sumac
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp salt
Crunch of black pepper
2 tbsp breadcrumbs or oat flour (to bind)
2 pita breads
1–2 tbsp olive oil for frying

Add onion, cilantro to Pixie Chopper and pulse

Add lentils, spices to a bowl and bind together

Mix in the breadcrumbs/oat flour (so it holds together)

Fill the pitas with filling. Cut the pita breads in half and gently open each pocket. Spread the lentil mixture inside each half in a thin layer. Brush the outside lightly with olive oil

Pan fry in a hot pan for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy

To serve cut into triangles and serve warm
