    METHOD

    LENTIL TORTILLAS

    SOAK lentils in water at room temperature overnight.

    BLEND lentils along with the water in a blender until smooth. Season to taste.

    HEAT a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Add about 3 tablespoons of batter to the pan and, using the back of a metal spoon or off-set spatula, spread the batter into a rough 10 cm circle.

    COOK for 1 minute, then use a spatula to carefully flip to the other side. Continue to cook the tortilla for 3–5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and slightly charred. Repeat with the remaining batter. Set aside to cool.

    NEATEN up the tortillas by trimming them with a 10 cm cookie cutter, if desired.

    SALSA VERDE

    BLEND all ingredients in a food processor until combined, but still fairly coarse.

    KIWI SALAD

    ADD all ingredients into a bowl and toss gently to combine.

    TO ASSEMBLE

    HEAT a greased griddle pan over high heat. Season steak and cook for 2 minutes on either side or to desired doneness. Allow steaks to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

    REHEAT lentil wraps in a dry frying pan.

    SPREAD a layer of hummus on the lentil tortillas and pile on the salad, steak and salsa verde. Enjoy!
