Although I have loved lentil sprouts since forever, I hadn’t grown any lentil sprouts in a while. Then, with all this scary stuff going on, and long lines just to get *into* the supermarket, only to find nothing fresh and yummy looking there, I raided my favorite organic market and got 2 lbs of …… lentils! Then I had to figure out where to get those sprouting lids for mason jars (no idea where my nice plastic one went off to), and it took a week to get some stainless ones from Amazon Prime! Finally they came, and the project came together. I’d forgotten how fast lentils sprout and grow!
I put them to soak on Monday night, and, in the morning, they already had little bitty tails! Rinse, drain, and set the jar in a bowl, so, if they wanted to drain some more, they could. On Wednesday morning, they had grown quite a bit, but I rinsed and drained again. On Thursday, oh wow! The sprouts were almost an inch long!
Wraps! I cut the “bone” out of romaine lettuce leaf and spread a little sundried tomato hummus on the two pieces. I finely chopped some red bell pepper and onion, and sliced 1/4 of an avocado. Then I piled the lentil sprouts on the leaf slices, sprinkled the bell pepper and onion on top, laid out the pieces of avocado, then folded up the leaf and chowed down! MM! MM! Good!!!! I’m going to do a repeat performance tonight!
